A prospective cohort study of the association between key family and individual factors and obesity status among youth.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
There remains a significant gap in our knowledge of the synergistic nature of family dynamics, child characteristics, and child-rearing features in the etiology of obesity from childhood through adolescence. We assessed the associations of family dynamics (poverty, family structure), child characteristics (child temperament), and child-rearing features (maternal depression, maternal sensitivity, and type of child care) with the development of childhood obesity. Children (n = 1240) whose weights and heights were measured at least once for ten time points (from 2 years through 15 years) from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development were included. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) was used to examine the associations of family and individual factors with the childhood obesity after adjusting for covariates. Adjusted GEE models showed that living below poverty level was associated with an increased odds of obesity (odds ratio = 1.62, 95% confidence interval 1.05, 2.53). Among these key family and individual factors, poverty status was observed to be the strongest predictor of obesity of offspring across time. Findings highlight the importance of systemic-level public health changes in obesity reduction efforts and suggest that poverty-reduction based prevention and intervention are likely more effective targets than more individual/family specific targets.
