The relationship between aging out of the special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children assistance and weight status in kindergarten.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 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
Objective: The Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides access to nutritional resources to low-income children starting at birth through enrollment in kindergarten or turning five years old. The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of aging out of WIC prior to kindergarten on a child's weight status in kindergarten. Methods: This study used WIC certification data merged with a state-wide body mass index (BMI) dataset among kindergarteners measured between 2019 and 2023 in Arkansas and included children who remained enrolled in WIC until at least 30 days before their fifth birthday ( Results: Among kindergarteners, the mean BMI/BMI Conclusions: Aging out WIC is not associated with a kindergartener's weight status. Additional analyses are needed to better understand the potential implications of extending WIC until a child's sixth birthday.
