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

objectiveTo co-create with rangatahi (young people) evidence-based eating and wellbeing guidelines for young people in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ), informed by mātauranga Māori (traditional Māori knowledge).

designRangatahi collaborated with Māori and non-Māori experts to review existing health guidelines covering sustainable eating, physical activity, screen time, sleep and mental wellbeing and develop their own set of guidelines. Peer feedback on the draft guidelines was used to produce the final guidelines. The process integrated scientific evidence with mātauranga Māori, following tikanga Māori (Māori custom) to ensure a culturally centred process.

settingWānanga (learning workshops) were held at a local marae (traditional meeting house), and feedback presentations were held in four secondary schools in Hawke's Bay, NZ.

participantsSeventeen rangatahi from four schools with high Māori student enrolment participated in the wānanga, and ninety-four students provided peer feedback through surveys.

resultsThe rangatahi created ten eating and ten wellbeing guideline messages. These messages were invitational (beginning 'Let's try to…') acknowledging the challenging journey for many rangatahi from current to recommended behaviours. Only one quantification (8-10 h of sleep) was included. Three eating and three physical activity guidelines incorporated the concepts of 'mauri' (life force). The guidelines addressed contemporary issues including sustainable eating, ultra-processed foods, social dimensions of eating and physical activity, screen time and cyberbullying. They also emphasised respect, rights and responsibilities, concluding with a motivational whakatauki (proverb) about aspirations.

conclusionsInnovative, relevant and contemporary eating and wellbeing guidelines have been successfully co-created by rangatahi Māori for all young people across NZ.
