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

objectiveObesity is one of the most prominent health issues in modern society. Although previous research has identified chronic psychological stress as a risk factor for obesity, much of this research only examined how an individual's own stress affects their adiposity. The current study utilized an actor-partner interdependence model to examine the unique associations of youths' and parents' chronic stress with both their own and each other's adiposity.

methodFive hundred sixty-nine dyads of youths (48.7% females, 49.9% Whites,

resultsThe actor-partner interdependence model showed that when both youths' and parents' chronic stress were included simultaneously in the model, youths' chronic stress was uniquely associated with both their own and their parents' adiposity, and parents' chronic stress was also uniquely associated with youths' adiposity.

conclusionChronic psychological stress of youths and parents is uniquely associated with each other's adiposity, over and above their own stress. Thus, the psychosocial experiences of close others can be linked to both youth and adult obesity. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
