Thriving in the First 1000 Days: Lessons from Positive Deviance Among Young Families.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 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
The first 1000 days (F1D), from conception to a child's second birthday, constitute a critical window for shaping long-term health, development, and wellbeing. While conventional approaches often rely on external interventions to support young families, the Positive Deviance (PD) framework offers a compelling alternative: identifying and amplifying successful behaviours already present within communities facing similar constraints. This paper explores how PD can be harnessed to foster sustainable, community-led change during the F1D. By uncovering local success stories, promoting participatory engagement, and strengthening caregiver self-efficacy, PD enables communities to co-create solutions that are culturally relevant and contextually grounded. However, effective application of PD requires careful attention to structural inequities, ethical storytelling, and rigorous methodological standards to avoid inadvertently shifting responsibility onto individuals. When implemented thoughtfully, PD reveals "what works" in resource-limited settings, empowering communities to build child-inclusive environments rooted in local expertise and resilient practices.
