Translating knowledge into action for child obesity treatment in partnership with Parks and Recreation: study protocol for a hybrid type II trial.
Article in Implementation science : IS, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05455190 (Parks & Pediatrics Fit Together), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
backgroundSafe and effective treatment exists for childhood obesity, but treatment recommendations have largely not been translated into practice, particularly among racial and ethnic minorities and low-wealth populations. A key gap is meeting the recommended treatment of ≥26 h of lifestyle modification over 6-12 months. Fit Together is an effective treatment model that meets these recommendations by integrating healthcare and community resources. Pediatric providers screen children for obesity, deliver counseling, and treat co-morbidities, while Parks and Recreation partners provide recreation space for a community nutrition and physical activity program.
methodsThis study will use a hybrid type II implementation-effectiveness design to evaluate the effectiveness of an online implementation platform (the Playbook) for delivering Fit Together. Clinical and community partners in two North Carolina communities will implement Fit Together, using the Playbook, an implementation package designed to facilitate new partnerships, guide training activities, and provide curricular materials needed to implement Fit Together. An interrupted time series design anchored in the Process Redesign Framework will be used to evaluate implementation and effectiveness outcomes in intervention sites. Implementation measures include semi-structured interviews with partners, before and after the implementation of Fit Together, and quantitative measures assessing several constructs within the Process Redesign Framework. The participants will be children 6-11 years old with obesity and their families (n=400). Effectiveness outcomes include a change in child body mass index and physical activity from baseline to 6 and 12 months, as compared with children receiving usual care. Findings will be used to inform the design of a dissemination strategy guided by the PCORI Dissemination Framework. DISCUSSION: This project addresses the knowledge-to-action gap by developing evidence-based implementation tools that allow clinicians and communities to deliver effective pediatric obesity treatment recommendations. Future dissemination of these tools will allow more children who have obesity and their families to have access to effective, evidence-based care in diverse communities.
