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

The purpose of this pilot study was to test an adapted childhood obesity prevention intervention called Preventing Obesity Using Digital-Assisted Movement and Eating (ProudMe) in under-resourced schools. Six schools were cluster-randomized to ProudMe (n = 33; at three schools) or waitlist control (n = 46; at three schools) conditions. ProudMe aimed to improve participants' health behaviors and weight status through interventions in the school cafeteria (i.e., ProudMe Cafeteria), physical education (PE) (i.e., ProudMe PE), and through artificial-intelligence- (AI-) assisted behavioral counseling (i.e., ProudMe Tech), and staff professional development (i.e., ProudMe PD). Two implementation outcomes including penetration and fidelity were captured through mixed methods. We drew upon the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to identify facilitators and barriers underlying implementation. The intervention only resulted in highly positive implementation outcomes in the cafeterias, which subsequently resulted in improved cafeteria scores. Implementation outcomes were less desirable in ProudMe PE with moderate penetration and fidelity. ProudMe PD was well attended but ProudMe Tech was under-utilized. The pilot intervention as a whole did not show significant effects on student-level outcomes (p > 0.05). Multiple facilitators and barriers across CFIR domains emerged as influential factors for the pilot intervention's implementation and preliminary effectiveness. This study generated mixed evidence concerning the ProudMe intervention. The lessons learned inform future intervention refinement.
