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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesSocio-cultural adversities and health disparities across Asian American origin groups remain understudied, particularly in early childhood. This limits the development of culturally responsive prevention and intervention strategies. A family-based Asian American epidemiologic study is essential to address these gaps and to inform tailored solutions. As an initial pilot effort, this pilot study was designed primarily to assess feasibility and generate preliminary data to inform future hypothesis-driven, large-scale epidemiologic research. The study objectives were to evaluate the feasibility of a remote study protocol and to collect preliminary data on child development and parental factors among Asian Indian, Filipino, and Korean American families with young children.

methodsA remote pilot study was conducted in 2024-25 among 48 mother-father-child (age 1-4 years) triads residing in Illinois, including 18 Asian Indian, 12 Filipino, and 18 Korean American mothers. Parents completed an online survey, and children wore an ActiGraph accelerometer on their hips. Analyses were conducted to describe child development, parental experiences, and parenting practices among the three ethnic groups.

resultsOf the 48 mothers, 29 (60%) were US-born, and all but 1 had at least a bachelor's degree. All parent pairs completed the survey, whereas only 34 children (71%) provided valid accelerometer data. Disaggregated data showed that, compared to children of Asian Indian mothers, children of Filipino mothers had higher daily screen time (

conclusionsThe remote study protocol was generally feasible; however, child compliance with hip accelerometer wear was suboptimal. Preliminary data revealed differences in children's physical behaviors and social-emotional development across Asian ethnic groups. A full-scale study should enhance the engagement of socioeconomically diverse families and refine wearable data collection methods to improve data representativeness and completeness.
