Meanings that mothers of obese children attribute to eating habits: grounded theory.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo describe the meanings that mothers of obese children attribute to eating habits in Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico.
methodQualitative study, based on grounded theory and the premises of symbolic interactionism, conducted through semi-structured, individual, recorded and transcribed interviews, using intentional and theoretical sampling, with data analysis using the constant comparative method and the help of the ATLAS.ti software.
resultsThere were fourteen mothers as participants, with an average age of 36 years old, 50% in a stable union and 71% with paid work. The emerging categories were: 1. Mothers feeding based on their children's tastes, emotions and preferences; 2. Mothers compensating their children with food; 3. Mothers dealing with emotions; and 4. Mothers working and having to delegate childcare. Significant changes in eating habits were identified, since women, simultaneously exercising the roles of caregivers and providers, opt for quick and easy-to-prepare meals, which are most often ultra-processed food.
conclusionsThe meaning attributed to eating habits emerges from the social interaction that the mother establishes with her children and her partner, being constructed based on tastes and food preferences and interpreted as an act of love and care.
