Parents' Experiences From Participating in an Online Peer Support Child Feeding Intervention: The "PICNIC Sweden" Explanatory Sequential Mixed Methods Feasibility Study.

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
Background: Parents' feeding practices play a role in shaping children's dietary patterns, which influence chronic disease risk. Feeding children is challenging, so parents need guidance and support. Parents In Child Nutrition Informing Community (PICNIC) is an Australian program that promotes responsive child feeding using dietitian-led training and online communication, then facilitates peer-to-peer information sharing within parents' social networks. Objective: This pilot study aimed to test the feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, and perceived impact of PICNIC with Swedish parents. Methods: This explanatory sequential mixed methods study involved 47 parents of children aged 0 to 24 months. Parents attended a 2-hour online dietitian-led workshop, followed by 2 months of child nutrition and feeding support in a moderated, closed Facebook group. Quantitative data from digital questionnaires (n=43) were analyzed and integrated with qualitative findings from thematic analysis of semistructured interviews (n=15). Results: Parents attended 1 of 10 workshops, and 4 to 5 posts per week (of which 20% were participants' questions) were shared in the project's Facebook group. Both quantitative and qualitative data indicated parents' child feeding knowledge and parental self-efficacy increased after participation. Parents reported that the intervention filled a gap in the existing support from child health services, strengthening their confidence in child feeding, while providing a sense of recognition and community. PICNIC information was described as trustworthy, shareable, and something to "lean on." Parents valued the social interaction during the workshops but also suggested providing recorded content for easier access. Conclusions: This pilot study demonstrated high acceptability and appropriateness of the PICNIC intervention model among parents in Sweden. This study will inform the design of an adapted version of PICNIC to be offered through child health services.
