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

objectiveThis scoping review examines the current literature on technology-based, eHealth interventions that integrate community and clinical approaches for family-based pediatric weight management.

backgroundTelehealth and eHealth interventions for weight management are increasingly commonplace; however, it is unclear in the current literature how family-based, pediatric, healthy-weight interventions integrate technology. Additionally, multilevel approaches to address childhood obesity, including working with clinical and community partners, are currently considered best practice and within the socioecological framework for sustainability of outcomes. Little is known how current family based pediatric healthy weight interventions integrate eHealth and multi-level approaches.

methodsGuided by Arksey and O'Malley's scoping review framework, a scoping literature review was conducted. Four databases were searched to identify studies conducted between 2010 and 2022 that addressed multilevel, family-based, pediatric weight management interventions that also integrated technology. Studies were excluded that did not include at least 2 of the 4 components and that did not include technology to some degree.

resultsA total of 15 articles were included in the scoping review. All articles included some type of technology in the intervention. Twelve articles included a family-based approach, and only 1 article fully used a holistic approach to family-based, pediatric weight management that included technology and integrated clinical and community approaches to address the complexity of childhood obesity.

conclusionsThere are several family-based, pediatric weight management interventions that incorporate an eHealth component. There is a gap in the literature about programs that use both technology and integrate multilevel clinical and community approaches for treatment. Additionally, gaps exist in information about adolescent, family-based, weight management interventions, and there are opportunities for nutrition and dietetic professionals to become more involved with technological and multilevel approaches in family-based pediatric weight management.
