Perceptions of Primary Caregivers on Children's Weight Status Versus Actual Weight Status in Children Aged 6-15 Years - China, 2021.
Article in China CDC weekly, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
What is already known about this topic?: Childhood obesity has been linked to adverse health outcomes during both childhood and adulthood. An accurate understanding of children's weight status by primary caregivers is essential for effective weight management strategies. What is added by this report?: The data utilized in this study were obtained from the 2021 Nutrition Improvement Program for Rural Compulsory Education Students in China. It was found that over one-third of primary caregivers underestimated their children's weight status, and more than half of the primary caregivers of overweight or obese children underreported the weight status of those children. A low level of agreement was observed between primary caregivers' perceptions of their children's weight status and the actual weight status. What are the implications for public health practice?: There is a relatively higher underestimation of children's weight in China, which necessitates more effective strategies to enhance the primary caregivers' perception of their children's weight status, especially in primary caregivers of males, younger children and children in urban areas.
