Childhood obesity in the first 2000 days: A focus on primary health care in regional and rural Australia.
Review in The Australian journal of rural health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionRates of childhood obesity have increased in regional and rural areas in Australia over the past two decades.
objectiveTo review the current literature to gain an understanding of (i) ways to improve access to primary health care in the first 2000 days, (ii) models of care for delivering healthy lifestyle advice in the first 2000 days and (iii) the development of partnerships between health and social care services in the first 2000 days in rural and regional settings.
designThree literature reviews were undertaken. Results were limited to published, peer-reviewed literature from the past 5 years (2017-2022).
findingsAccess to care could be improved through the expansion of telemedicine, nurse roles and community health worker models. A range of organisational and leadership factors facilitated the integration of health and social care services in the first 2000 days in rural areas with evidence of resultant positive health impacts. DISCUSSION: Telemedicine, the expansion of nursing roles and the implementation of a formalised community health worker model, may serve to improve access to primary health care for families in the first 2000 days; however, further research on particular models of care for delivering healthy lifestyle advice to rural and regional families is required.
conclusionPolicy-makers should consider the interdependent nature of increasing access to care, establishing best practice models of care and strengthening local partnerships to prevent and manage childhood obesity in the first 2000 days in rural and regional areas.
