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

Objectives: Infancy is a critical period for preventing obesity and health disparities. This study reports on the acceptability of a responsive parenting obesity prevention intervention (THRIVE) delivered via integrated behavioral health in a pediatric primary care setting. Intervention participants were invited to participate in a focus group on the acceptability of THRIVE and suggestions for refinement with particular attention to cultural responsiveness and diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA). Methods: Eleven of 32 (34.4%) mothers participated in a 45-60 minute focus group (three groups, 3-5 participants each). Sessions utilized a semi-structured interview guide, were transcribed verbatim, and analyzed according to a thematic analytic approach. Results: Four themes emerged: (1) Lived Experience (e.g., lived experience as a mother, navigating systemic and healthcare-related barriers, and context that shaped personal experiences with THRIVE); (2) Therapeutic Processes and Cultural Responsiveness (e.g., an appreciation of families' strengths and values by the THRIVE interventionist that facilitated engagement with THRIVE); (3) Tailored Strategy Implementation (e.g., implementation of THRIVE skills and strategies by families and how strategies were adapted or tailored to meet families' needs); (4) Future Improvements to THRIVE (e.g., proposed strategies for increased attention to DEIA and reducing participant burden). Conclusions: Conducting qualitative research prior to Phase 2-3 trials is vital to ensuring the interventions developed, implemented, and tested are not only empirically-based, but also culturally-responsive, attentive to DEIA, acceptable and relevant. Mothers provided valuable insights surrounding participation in THRIVE, highlighting important DEIA elements of THRIVE and suggested ways to decrease burden and increase access.
