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

purposeThis study investigated the correlations between family anthropometric and physiological health (i.e., body mass index [BMI], percent body fat, blood pressure [BP], skin carotenoids) and preschoolers' parent- and teacher-rated socio-behavioral outcomes (i.e., externalizing behaviors: self-centered/explosive, attention problems, antisocial/aggressive behaviors; internalizing behaviors: social withdrawal, anxiety/somatic problems; social skills: social cooperation, interaction, and independence).

methodsBaseline data from a cluster randomized clinical trial were analyzed using R 4.0. A total of 168 preschoolers (M

findingsPreschoolers' BMI-z was positively associated with teacher-rated social skills (B = 3.66, p = 0.034). Parents' BMI had a positive relationship with preschoolers' self-centered/explosive behaviors (B = 0.61, p = 0.031) and antisocial/aggressive behaviors (B = 0.50, p = 0.045), while their percent body fat and systolic BP were negatively associated with preschoolers' anxiety/somatic problems (B = -0.40, p = 0.034; B = -0.31, p = 0.032). Preschoolers' skin carotenoids were positively correlated with their social independence (B = 0.07, p = 0.025), and parents' skin carotenoids were negatively associated with preschoolers' antisocial/aggressive behaviors (B = -0.07, p = 0.038).

conclusionsThe results offer important insights into the complex impact of poor anthropometric and physiological health on socio-behavioral development during early childhood.
