Longitudinal changes in childhood cancer survivor body mass index during early survivorship: associations with caregiver health-related parenting behaviors and survivor health behaviors.
Article in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 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
purposeChildhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at risk for obesity and related late effects following treatment. This study examined (1) changes in age- and sex-adjusted standardized BMI (zBMI) over 12 months during early survivorship, (2) associations between CCS dietary behaviors and physical activity with longitudinal changes in zBMI, and (3) the association between health-related parenting behaviors (HRPB) and CCS dietary and physical activity behaviors and zBMI.
methodsCaregivers of CCS completed baseline measures of children's diet, physical activity, and HRPB at the transition off active cancer treatment. zBMI was extracted from medical records at baseline and 12 months post-baseline assessment and categorized by weight status based on World Health Organization guidelines. Linear probability models assessed associations between CCS health behaviors, caregiver HRPB, and zBMI outcomes.
resultsAbout 47% of CCS maintained a healthy zBMI and 39% maintained an overweight/obese zBMI from baseline to follow-up. Greater fruit and vegetable intake was associated with maintaining a healthy zBMI (B = 0.107, p = 0.018) and inversely associated with overweight/obese zBMI (B = -0.108, p = 0.012). Caregiver efficacy to support dietary behavior was positively associated with CCS fruit and vegetable intake (B = 0.246, p = 0.026).
conclusionsMost survivors maintained their BMI status from the end of treatment through the first year of survivorship. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Strategies focused on increasing fruit and vegetable intake and caregiver efficacy to promote healthy diet should be considered to maintain healthy weight at the end of cancer-directed therapy.
