Hispanic Parent Preferences for Approaching the Weight of Their 8-12-Year-Old Child: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of nutrition education and behavior, 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
objectiveCharacterize parents' views and preferences for managing their child's weight.
designSemistructured interviews with Hispanic primary caregivers whose health care provider told them their 8-12-year-old child's weight was above the recommended weight for their age.
settingVirtual interviews.
participantsThe community sample of participants (n = 16) were primarily mothers (81%), immigrants (94%), and aged 37 ± 6 years. Participants were from Mexico (56%), Ecuador (19%), Colombia (13%), El Salvador (6%), and the US (6%). PHENOMENON OF INTEREST: Parent perceptions of and preferences for weight management and weight-inclusive paradigms. ANALYSIS: Inductive thematic analysis.
resultsWe identified 3 themes. First, parents consider context to decide how to address their child's weight. Second, parents view weight management as a personal responsibility that is made challenging by environmental barriers. Third, parents follow guidance from sources they feel are reliable and relatable. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Parent perspectives aligned with aspects of both weight management and weight-inclusive paradigms. In practice, these themes indicate parents are likely to want clear, specific guidance on weight that is sensitive to personal factors (e.g., child developmental stage, culture), structural barriers (e.g., time, access, affordability), and that clarifies expectations about potential outcomes from pursuing either approach.
