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

PurposeSocial support, particularly from family, is crucial for physical activity (PA) among youth. This study examined the association between father support and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in Latina pre-teens and explored the moderating role of body mass index (BMI).DesignCross-sectional analysis.SettingBaseline data from a pilot randomized controlled trial in San Diego County. SubjectsSixty Latina pre-teen girls aged 8-11 years.MeasuresGirls' MVPA was measured via accelerometry. An exploratory factor analysis created a composite measure of father support, reported by mothers.AnalysisHierarchical linear regression models, adjusting for covariates, assessed the relationship between father support and MVPA. Interaction models tested the moderating effect of BMI z-score (zBMI).ResultsFather support was significantly associated with MVPA (b-range = 0.07 to 0.08, 95%CI = 0.02, 0.13) after adjusting for age, income, acculturation, and maternal support. However, this association became non-significant with the inclusion of zBMI (b = 0.06, 95%CI: -0.01, 0.11). The interaction model showed a significant positive association between father support and MVPA among girls with a healthy weight (b = 0.27, 95%CI: 0.27, 2.68) but not among those with overweight/obesity (b = 0.95, 95%CI: -0.38, 2.28).ConclusionOur findings indicate a potential association between father support and daughters' MVPA among girls with a healthy weight. Further research is needed to understand why this association is not observed in girls with overweight/obesity.
