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.

Abstract

Objectives: Pediatric obesity disproportionately affects children of lower socioeconomic status, racial and ethnic minorities, and rural communities, and is influenced by social and physical environments. Community-engaged interventions can address pediatric obesity and have been implemented in rural settings for other conditions, but few have specifically targeted rural childhood obesity. Together We STRIDE study is a community-based trial designed to test the effectiveness of a multi-level obesity prevention intervention in Hispanic children living in rural communities. Methods: The trial enrolled 653 children (8-12 years old). The 13-month (March 2017-April 2018) multi-level intervention included comic books, nutrition and physical activity (PA) classes, media literacy education and PA breaks, and an open-street community program (Ciclovía). The primary outcome was between-group differences in BMI Results: There were no significant between-group differences in BMI Conclusions: Although this multi-level community-based intervention did not show an overall intervention effect on BMI Trial Registration: NCT02982759 (Together We STRIDE) retrospectively registered during study recruitment.
