Who Benefited Most? Identifying Parent-Child Dyads With Improved Weight Outcomes in the Feel4Diabetes Study.
Article in Pediatric obesity, 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
backgroundFamily-based interventions offer a promising solution to the pressing global health concern of childhood obesity by addressing the interconnected behaviours of parents and children. Nevertheless, limited evidence identifies which families benefit most when outcomes are evaluated at the parent-child dyad level.
aimTo identify which parent-child dyads experienced clinically meaningful improvements in weight status over 1- and 2-year periods within the Feel4Diabetes study, a school- and community-based intervention targeting European families at risk for Type 2 diabetes.
methodsData were drawn from 2402 high-risk families across six European countries. For participants with overweight/obesity, improvement meant ≥ 5% parental weight loss and a ≥ 0.15-unit child BMI-z reduction. Multiple logistic regression models identified socio-demographic and contextual predictors of dyadic improvement.
resultsAfter 2 years, 5.3% of families achieved improvements in both parent and child. Significant predictors of dyadic success included intervention group participation [OR = 2.56 (95% CI: 1.31-5.03)] and residing in high-income countries under austerity measures [OR = 2.44 (1.00-6.02)]. Girls were more likely to improve than boys, while full-time maternal employment was associated with lower odds of dyadic improvement.
conclusionsSustained benefits were observed in a subset of families, highlighting the need for tailored, context-sensitive family-centred obesity prevention strategies.
