Baby-Feed Pilot Trial for Improving Diet and Weight Gain in Infants and Toddlers.
Trial report in Maternal and child health journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05062824 (Pilot Testing of Baby Feed), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo pilot test the initial efficacy of the Baby-Feed website for improving infant diet quality (main outcome) and weight gain (exploratory outcome) compared to usual care.
methodsThis was a 3-month randomized clinical trial, in which two healthcare providers and 50 caregivers of healthy-term infants (4-12 months) in a community health center were recruited. Participants were randomized to usual care or access to the Baby-Feed website, which assesses infants' diets, provides automated results, and delivers feedback. Measures were assessed at baseline and at the end of the study: diet quality from a validated infant food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), self-reported weight/length to calculate rate of weight gain, and a validated self-efficacy questionnaire. Changes were compared using analysis of covariance or Chi-square/Fisher's Exact test.
resultsBaseline characteristics were similar between groups (n = 25 intervention; n = 25 control). Most caregivers were mothers (92%) and Hispanic (86%). Change in total diet quality scores was higher in the intervention (-2.95 ± 6.53) vs. controls (-7.69 ± 7.84; p = 0.031). Healthy weight gain was higher in the intervention group (n = 21, 95%) vs. controls (n = 14, 58%; p = 0.006). Changes in the self-efficacy score for promoting healthy foods were associated with changes in the fruit score (r = 0.46; p = 0.03), and changes in the self-efficacy score for limiting unhealthy foods were associated with changes in the juice score (r = 0.45; p = 0.04) only in the intervention group.
conclusionsUsing Baby-Feed for 3 months improved diet quality and the rate of weight gain compared with controls in this small and short pilot trial. A larger, longer trial with a more diverse population is needed to confirm the results. TRIAL REGISTRY: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ : NCT05062824.
