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

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine whether exposure to family weight talk as a child was associated with a variety of health and well-being outcomes including weight, eating behaviors, unhealthy weight-control behaviors, self-esteem, body satisfaction, and psychosocial outcomes in adulthood. Background: Prior research shows associations between parent weight talk and higher weight status and depressive symptoms in children and adolescents. Less is known about associations between family weight talk and health and well-being outcomes in children and whether these associations track into adulthood. Method: Parents ( Results: Retrospective reports of exposure to family weight talk as a child were significantly associated with higher weight status, engagement in unhealthy weight-control behaviors and binge eating, lower diet quality, lower self-esteem and body satisfaction, and higher depressive and anxious symptoms in adulthood. Conclusions: Retrospective reports of exposure to family weight talk as a child tracked into adulthood and was associated with a variety of health and well-being outcomes. Implications: Results suggest that researchers, clinicians, and family life educators may want to both assess and intervene on family weight talk to mitigate the long-term influence on health and well-being outcomes.
