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

Objective: To evaluate the impact of a farm to school program on urban, elementary-aged children. Methods: A classroom of students receiving a farm to school intervention was compared to a control classroom at the same school. Pre-and post-surveys measured knowledge, attitudes, and consumption of fruits and vegetables in both groups. Dietary recalls measured consumption of fruits and vegetables post-intervention. Rich pictures captured children's mental model of food post intervention. Results: The rich pictures of farm to school students were more likely to include fruits and vegetables (OR = 7.2; 95% CI = 1.66,31.26) and imagery of the natural environment (insignificant) compared to the control group. Their overall mental models of food were significantly healthier ( Conclusions and implications: Farm to school programs influence children's mental model of food and may give students a more robust understanding of where food comes from.
