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 trial examined the noninferiority of family-based behavioral pediatric weight management treatment (FBT) delivered by peers relative to professionals.

methodsChildren (n = 127) aged 7 to 11 years with BMI > 85th percentile for age and sex and at least one parent with BMI > 25 kg/m

resultsPeer FBT delivery was noninferior to professional FBT delivery (margin of 0.072 in child BMI z score change) at treatment end and at 12-month follow-up; however, superiority testing suggested that professional FBT delivery resulted in better child BMI z score change. No differential changes were observed in child quality of life or parental BMI by FBT delivery mode. Peer-delivered FBT was well received, with peers providing personal examples of behavior change success but less skills-focused content. Peer FBT delivery was about one-quarter the cost of professional FBT delivery.

conclusionsThis study informs new strategies for sustaining the delivery of pediatric obesity interventions by involving trained parents.
