Changes in perceived parental self-efficacy after a Child-Centred Health Dialogue about preventing obesity.
Trial report in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimThis randomised controlled trial evaluated changes in parental self-efficacy and children's weight, after a Child-Centred Health Dialogue about preventing obesity.
methodsWe randomly assigned 37 Child Health Centres in Skåne county Sweden to provide usual care or the dialogue intervention. They included centres from high and low socioeconomic areas. The outcomes were changes in parental self-efficacy and any moderating effect on their children's body mass index 1 year later.
resultsThe baseline data were based on 1115 mothers and 869 fathers representing 1197 children (52% females) aged 4 years (3.9-4.2) with a standardised body mass index (zBMI) of 0.1 ± 0.9. The participation rates at follow-up, 1.1 ± 0.2 years after the intervention were 817 mothers and 508 fathers. Overall, parental self-efficacy had decreased by the 1-year follow-up. There was a significant intervention effect on maternal self-efficacy in promoting physical activity, however with unclear clinical relevance. Mothers' change in perceived self-efficacy in promoting a healthy diet seemed to moderate the intervention effect on zBMI change in children with zBMI > 0 with -0.01 (95% CI: -0.025 to -0.001; p = 0.03).
conclusionOur study suggested a possible link between increased maternal self-efficacy in promoting a healthy diet and a favourable development of zBMI.
