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

This paper describes the development of a culturally relevant parenting intervention (ROOTS) using the Intervention Mapping (IM) framework. ROOTS was developed through IM's six-step process by integrating theory, empirical evidence, and community input. A needs assessment identified determinants of child health to guide the Logic Model of Child Health (Step 1), and change objectives were defined in the Logic Model of Change (Step 2). Intervention theory, methods, and practical strategies were selected based on these models and culturally adapted using the Ecological Validity Model (Steps 3-4). Implementation and evaluation plans were developed using a hybrid effectiveness-implementation approach (Steps 5-6). The final ROOTS intervention includes 6 weekly online sessions emphasizing positive parenting, ethnic-racial socialization, and healthy lifestyle behaviors. This study demonstrates how IM can be applied to create culturally responsive, dual-focused interventions that promote feasibility, scalability, and health equity for minoritized families.
