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

purposeCost is a critical consideration when implementing evidence-based family healthy weight programs (FHWPs). However, real-world implementation cost data are often underreported, and standardized methods for accurate cost collection are lacking. This article synthesizes the implementation costing approaches used across five FHWPs to inform future adopters and implementers by illustrating context-appropriate costing methods and identifying practical considerations for cost data collection and reporting.

methodsWe descriptively report and compare the implementation strategies and associated cost assessment methods across five projects funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Childhood Obesity Research Demonstration (CORD 3.0) program. CORD 3.0 aimed to package FHWPs for implementation in health care, community, or public health settings. Costing approach information was organized and abstracted using a published checklist.

findingsDespite variation in program models and settings, several common costing approaches emerged. All projects used direct measurement methods (

conclusionsThis study provides an overview of approaches to assessing FHWP implementation costs within the CDC's CORD 3.0 initiative. Applying structured frameworks and practical tools, these projects demonstrate how cost assessments can guide strategic planning, reimbursement, and sustainability-laying groundwork for improved cost reporting and integration in future FHWP dissemination and implementation.
