Fruit and Vegetable Preparation Style in Family Child Care Homes in Oklahoma.
Article in Childhood obesity (Print), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundChildren spend 33-35 hours per week in family child-care homes and may consume up to five meals and snacks there, making these settings important for understanding how food especially fruits and vegetables are prepared and served. The purpose was to examine frequency and variety, preparation styles by meal, and identify predictors of fresh and frozen fruit and vegetable service in Oklahoma family child care homes (FCCH).
methodsNinety-six FCCHs participated in two cohorts (
resultsAll FCCH providers identified as female (mean age 43.9 ± 15.1 years). At breakfast, whole fruits and juice were served by 88.6% and 6.8% of providers, respectively. At lunch, whole fruits and juice were served by 86.6%-94.1% and 2.0%-4.4%, and vegetables by 94.1%-97.8%. At snack, fruits, fruit juice, and vegetables were served by 60%, 13.3%, and 11.1%, respectively. Bananas and apples/applesauce were the most common fruits, and carrots and green beans were the most common vegetables served. Fresh fruit was most common at breakfast (77.3%), lunch (53%-61%), and snack (63%). Fresh and frozen vegetables were equally prevalent (50%) at breakfast, canned vegetables (44-57%) at lunch, and fresh vegetables (100%) at snack. No provider/program characteristics were associated with fresh/frozen service scores.
conclusionsOpportunities exist to improve fruits/vegetables service in Oklahoma FCCHs by serving vegetables at breakfast and snacks and reducing juice and canned options.
