Engaging Faith Communities in Hispanic Child Obesity Prevention: Church Leaders' Insights on Barriers and Cultural Strategies.
Article in Global qualitative nursing research. 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
Childhood obesity disproportionately affects Hispanic children, yet culturally responsive interventions within faith-based organizations remain underutilized. This formative study explored faith leaders' perspectives on promoting healthy eating to inform church-based obesity prevention in predominantly Hispanic congregations. Using a qualitative-dominant mixed-methods design guided by Community-Based Participatory Research principles, we conducted surveys and in-depth interviews with faith leaders from diverse Arkansas denominations, including 30 who participated in interviews. Participants described balancing formal religious duties with informal roles as role models, community builders, and cultural translators connecting congregants to external resources. Three themes were developed through reflexive thematic analysis: (1) faith leadership as relational and cultural brokerage; (2) navigating tensions between spiritual mission and health promotion; and (3) the church as a culturally anchored space for holistic well-being. Leaders emphasized integrating health initiatives into existing church activities, adapting traditional foods rather than replacing them, and using culturally resonant materials delivered by trusted messengers. Findings demonstrate that faith-based organizations can support sustainable healthy eating interventions when programs align with spiritual priorities and cultural traditions, informing the development of a culturally-tailored, faith-based healthy eating intervention for Hispanic families.
