Effects of caregiver-child acculturation on child obesity among US Latino individuals.
Article in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveThe goal of this study was to assess the association of Latino caregiver-child nativity status (US- and foreign-born) with child obesity using a nationally representative sample.
methodsUsing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 1999-2018), this study used generalized linear models to identify associations between caregiver-child nativity status (as a proxy for acculturation) and children's BMI.
resultsCompared with foreign-born caregiver-child dyads, US-born caregiver-child dyads had 2.35 times the risk of class 2 obesity (95% CI: 1.59-3.47) and 3.60 times the risk of class 3 obesity (95% CI: 1.86-6.96). Foreign-born caregiver and US-born child dyads had 2.01 times the risk of class 2 obesity (95% CI: 1.42-2.84) and 2.47 times the risk of class 3 obesity (95% CI: 1.38-4.44; p < 0.05 for class 2 and class 3).
conclusionsCompared with foreign-born Latino caregiver-child dyads, dyads with US-born caregivers and children and dyads with foreign-born caregivers and US-born children had significantly increased risk across the severe classes of obesity. Examining the influence and relationship of varying acculturation levels in an immigrant household will help guide more effective clinical and policy guidelines surrounding obesity and weight management in both pediatric and adult US Latino populations.
