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.

Abstract

backgroundResearch assessing the effects of behavioral interventions on the home food environment is limited.

objectivesThis study aimed to assess the efficacy of Athletes for Life (AFL), a 10-wk family- and community-based diet improvement and physical activity promotion intervention, on home availability of fruit, vegetables, and sugar-containing foods.

methodsDyads of 1 adult parent and 1 child from 131 households (96% Hispanic) were randomly assigned to AFL (n = 64) or a wait-list control group (n = 67). AFL included behavioral modification strategies for increasing fruit and vegetable consumption and reducing sugar intake, with modifying home food availability as a strategy for diet improvement. Trained research assistants assessed home availability of vegetables, fruits, low- and high-sugar breakfast cereals (separately), prepared desserts, candy, low-sugar beverages, and sugar-sweetened beverages with a modified version of the home food inventory. Intervention effects (i.e., between-group differences in change) were examined using mixed-effects Poisson regression via condition (control vs. intervention) × time (preintervention vs. postintervention) interaction terms, adjusting for study cohort, household size, and number of days since last shopping trip.

resultsIntervention households demonstrated significant improvements, compared with control households, in the number of vegetables available (8.39-10.38 for intervention; 8.69-8.55 for control; P < 0.01); number of vegetables, excluding potatoes (7.70-9.65 for intervention; 7.92-7.83 for control; P < 0.01); and number of prepared desserts available (from 2.85 to 1.75 for intervention; from 2.42 to 2.52 for control; P < 0.01). No other outcomes of interest were statistically significant.

conclusionsEncouraging changes toward a healthier home food environment as part of the AFL intervention resulted in participants increasing the number of vegetables and reducing the number of prepared desserts available in the home. How promoting a healthy home food environment leads to diet change warrants further investigation. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03761589.
