Associations between father-mother food parenting practices and children's dietary intake.
Article in Public health nutrition, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo examine whether the number of parents using high levels of structure or coercive control food parenting practices is associated with children's dietary intake.
designCross-sectional analysis of father-mother dyads from the Fathers & Families cohort study. Fathers and mothers independently reported their food parenting practices and child's dietary intake. Multivariate logistic regression models estimated associations between the number of parents (0, 1 or 2) using high structure or coercive control practices and children's intake of fruit, vegetables, fast food and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB), adjusting for demographics and recruitment site.
settingUnited States.
participants474 father-mother dyads with a child aged 2-6 years.
resultsStructure, but not coercive control, was positively associated with vegetable intake. Compared with none, having one parent report high structure increased the odds of children consuming vegetables > once/day (adjusted OR (aOR) = 2·09; 95 % CI: (1·06, 4·54)); associations were stronger when both parents reported high structure. Structure was also associated with lower fast food and SSB intake frequency. Compared with none, having one parent report high structure increased the odds of children consuming fast food < once/week (aOR = 1·79; 95 % CI: (1·23, 2·62)) and limiting SSB to < once/week (aOR = 1·52; 95 % CI: (1·03, 2·23)); associations were stronger when both parents reported high structure. Compared with none, high coercive control by one (aOR = 0·69; 95 % CI: (0·49, 0·96)) or both parents (aOR = 0·57; 95 % CI: (0·33, 1·00)) was associated with lower odds of limiting SSB to < once/week.
conclusionsChildren's dietary patterns were healthiest when both parents used structure-based food parenting practices. Coercive control from one or both parents was associated with greater SSB intake frequency.
