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

Nutrition is critical to the health, development, and well-being of children and adolescents, operating through nutrients and the social and physical influences of dietary behaviors. Child and adolescent growth and development depend on complex biological systems interacting with the nutrition ecology. In this review, we focus on bidirectional interactions with the multilevel nutrition ecology, including distal systems (climate, geopolitical, and food systems) and proximal systems (community food options; health, social, and food services; and school policies and programs), all mediated by the family. Thus, the impact of nutrition on children's and adolescents' functional outcomes is dependent on understanding the multilevel nutrition ecology. Interdependencies between the nutrition ecology and children's health, development, and well-being have been examined during early childhood, with limited attention to corresponding relations among school-age children and adolescents. This age grouping represents 3 unique developmental phases: primary school-age (prepuberty; ∼5-9 y of age), early adolescence (puberty; ∼10-14 y of age), and late adolescence (postpuberty; ∼15-19 y of age). The 4-paper Biomarkers of Nutrition for Development: Knowledge Indicating Dietary Sufficiency: BOND-KIDS Project series builds the evidence for why and how an ecological approach is needed to assess and interpret the impact of interventions to improve the nutritional status and functional development of children and adolescents during these 3 developmental periods. This article synthesizes the environmental evidence underlying children's nutrition and responses to interventions, with specific attention to how distal and proximal environments impact nutrition and school-age children's and adolescents' functioning, including growth, physical and mental health, cognition, socioemotional development, physical activity, and school attendance and behavior.
