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.

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.

Abstract

Switching between different foods while eating has been positively associated with weight status and intake in children. Evidence suggests that switching behavior is consistent within children across meals, however, it is unclear how switching relates to changes in adiposity over time. In a 1-year longitudinal study, we assessed whether food switching predicted changes in fat mass index (FMI: fat mass kg/height m
