Effects of the dyadic FirstStep2Health intervention on parents' behaviour and anthropometric outcomes: a secondary analysis of a cluster randomised trial.
Trial report in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04164277 (Using Facebook and Participatory Learning in an Intergenerational Intervention to Prevent Obesity in Head Start Preschoolers), which is not on this map.

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.

resultsMixed-effect models were used to examine intervention effects, adjusting for baseline outcome and cluster effects at the daycare and classroom levels. Intervention parents engaged in more moderate to vigorous physical activity (B=0.49, p=0.874) postintervention than controls, although not significantly. However, intervention parents showed significantly higher nutrition knowledge (B=0.87, p=0.009), physical activity knowledge (B=0.95, p=0.049), nutrition self-efficacy (B=0.74, p=0.025) and physical activity self-efficacy (B=0.86, p=0.013) compared with controls at postintervention. Fibre intake was also significantly higher (B=2.99, p=0.049), and intervention parents had lower % body fat (B=-2.56, p=0.005) and systolic blood pressure (B=-10.98, p=0.005) postintervention. No significant effects were found for fruits/vegetables intake, parental support for healthy behaviours, home physical activity environment or authoritative parenting style.
conclusionsFuture endeavours to proactively engage parents in a dyadic childhood obesity prevention approach such as the TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04164277.
