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

backgroundIntegrating health care and social care presents opportunities to deliver responsive parenting (RP) interventions for childhood obesity prevention.

objectivesThis analysis examined the effect of an integrated RP intervention on infant obesogenic risk behaviours.

methodsThis secondary analysis included 228 mother-infant dyads in the Women, Infants, and Children Enhancements to Early Healthy Lifestyles for Baby (WEE Baby) Care study, a pragmatic randomized clinical trial that integrated care between paediatric clinicians and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutritionists to encourage RP. Mothers were randomized to a 6-month RP intervention or standard care. The Early Healthy Lifestyle risk assessment tool was completed at infant ages 2 and 6 months. Logistic regression examined study group effects on obesogenic risk behaviours, while t-tests assessed study group effects on a total obesogenic risk behaviour score. Models adjusted for milk type and parity.

resultsRP mothers were less likely to report nighttime feedings at 2 (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.21, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.07-0.62) and 6 months (aOR 0.36, 95% CI 0.16-0.81); pressure to finish the bottle (aOR 0.53, 95% CI 0.30-0.93) and using screens when feeding/playing at 2 months (aOR 0.34, 95% CI 0.17-0.67); and putting their infant to bed after 8:00 PM at 6 months (aOR 0.46, 95% CI 0.21-0.97). RP mothers had significantly lower obesogenic risk behaviour scores at 2 months (p = 0.009) but not at 6 months (p = 0.06) compared to standard care.

conclusionsThe WEE Baby Care intervention decreased some obesogenic risk behaviours among WIC mother-infant dyads. Integrated care in health and social settings can be used to provide patient-centred RP guidance to improve early obesogenic risk behaviours in high-risk populations.
