1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo evaluate a website for an educational intervention among participants of the Baby-Act Trial. Baby-Act is a community-based intervention to prevent infant obesity by promoting physical activity, sleep, and healthy eating behaviors in Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program participants in Puerto Rico. The intervention was designed to be delivered through a mobile application, but after the study was launched, participants reported many difficulties, and an alternative educational platform was developed.

methodsParticipants of the WIC program completed a face-to-face structured interview consisting of several open-ended questions. After completing the interview, they were instructed on how to access the newly developed webpage and completed the lessons found therein. Then followed a survey that explored the overall experience.

resultsNine participants were interviewed; they all agreed that the website was easy to access, registration was simple, and the webpage was clear; 8 were able to complete at least 1 lesson (1 participant had a very poor signal), and all 9 reported being confident in using the webpage and stated they would use it again.

conclusionThe study participants found this website to be user-friendly and a viable alternative for future educational intervention delivery to WIC participants.
