Ecological predictors of daily dietary intake in black adolescents with overweight and obesity in the families improving together (FIT) for weight loss trial.
Trial report in Journal of behavioral medicine, 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
Healthful eating habits (i.e., increased fruit and vegetable and decreased hyperpalatable energy-dense food and drink consumption) are important for preventing chronic disease risk (e.g., obesity) and improving overall health in Black adolescents.This study examines the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and environmental factors associated with daily dietary intake in Black adolescents with overweight and obesity. Baseline data were analyzed from 241 Black parent-adolescent dyads who participated in the Families Improving Together (FIT) for Weight Loss trial (Adolescent: Mage = 12.8 years, SD = 1.8; 63% female; MBMI% = 96.6, SD = 4.3). Intrapersonal factors included dietary motivation. Interpersonal factors included social support for diet from family. Environmental factors included access to food in the home. Dietary outcomes were measured using validated adolescent self-reported surveys. Separate multiple linear regressions revealed several associations between ecological factors and daily food intake. Greater access to more-healthful foods was associated with increased daily vegetable intake (β = 0.18, SE = 0.08, p < .05), whereas greater access to less-healthful foods was associated with increased daily fruit intake (β = 0.24, SE = 0.08, p < .05). Greater access to less-healthful foods was associated with increased daily energy-dense food intake (β = 0.75, SE = 0.10, p < .001), whereas increased self-reported dietary motivation was associated with decreased daily energy-dense food intake (β = -0.24, SE = 0.10, p < .05). Greater access to less-healthful foods (β = 1.48, SE = 0.23, p < .001) and higher adolescent BMI (β = 0.84, SE = 0.40, p < .05) was also associated with increased sugar-sweetened beverage consumption. These findings suggest that access to more-healthful foods is associated with greater vegetable intake, while restricting access to less-healthful foods and increased motivation for more healthful eating were associated with lower sugar-sweetened beverage and energy-dense food consumption among Black adolescents. These findings may inform future health promotion programs across various ecological levels of dietary behaviors in Black youth with overweight and obesity.
