Body image resources for parents of youth: a scoping review.
Synthesis in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Introduction: Parents play an important role in shaping youth body image, yet many report uncertainty about how to provide supportive guidance, particularly in sport contexts where body image pressures are heightened. A scoping review was conducted to identify and synthesize existing parent resources to inform the development of an evidence-based, sport-specific parent resource for supporting youth body image. Methods: An eight-step scoping review methodology was used. Databases (Embase, PsycINFO, Social Work Abstracts, and MEDLINE accessed via Ovid, CINAHL, Gender Studies, and SportDiscus via EBSCO, and ERIC and Sociological Abstracts via ProQuest) were searched to identify relevant literature from January 1, 2014, to January 28, 2026. Four authors independently screened articles using predefined eligibility criteria and extracted data. Parents were consulted to gather feedback on the review findings. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative content analysis. Results: Fifteen articles met inclusion criteria (9 quantitative, 3 qualitative, 2 mixed methods, 1 review), representing ten unique resources. Most resources were programs or guidelines delivered in online text or workshop/session formats. Resources commonly discussed body image influences, positive body image, and health behaviours. Few resources were tailored to adolescents or diverse identity groups, and most encouraged parents to provide youth informational and emotional support. Findings from the parent consultation demonstrated a preference for practical, accessible, and inclusive resources. Discussion: Overall, results highlight the need for evidence-informed, developmentally appropriate, and culturally responsive parent resources to support youth body image in sport. Future efforts should prioritize co-design, evaluation, and integrated dissemination to maximize impact. Systematic review registration: https://osf.io/9hq78, identifier.
