Headline vs Study

• Headline: Study Shows Gardening May Help Reduce Cancer Risk, Boost Mental Health.
• Study: RCT: Two of Seven Registered Primary Outcomes (Zero of 14 Registered Timepoint Comparisons) Reported as Statistically Significant in Study of Gardening versus Wait-List Control. Cancer Risk Was Not an Outcome. Mental Health Measures Were Secondary Outcomes.
• Study Registration: Community Activation for Prevention (CAPs): A Study of Community Gardening (CAPs).

Contrary or Null Findings

• RCT: "We found no significant time-by-intervention interactions for combined fruit and vegetable intake, Healthy Eating Index …, sedentary time, BMI, and waist circumference (all p>0·04)...[in] Effects of a community gardening intervention on diet, physical activity, and anthropometry outcomes in the USA..."
• RCT: "We found no significant improvement in body mass index, cognition, psychopathology, antipsychotic adverse effects, or oxidative stress and inflammation in the experimental group compared with placebo...[in]...α-Lipoic Acid as Adjunctive Treatment for Schizophrenia."
• RCT: "We did not show evidence of the benefit of metformin for children of women with overweight or obesity during pregnancy".
• RCT: "In school-aged children in this study with low baseline vitamin D status, oral vitamin D3 supplementation at a dose of 14 000 IU per week for 3 years was effective in elevating 25(OH)D concentrations but did not influence growth, body composition, or pubertal development."
• RCT: "Descriptive quantity and frequency norms did not result in a stronger intention to consume healthy snacks in the upcoming week, but they did result in lower-calorie snack choices when people were asked to select three snacks that they planned to eat on the following day."
• RCT: "contrary to prior results in LLD, lean muscle mass was not associated with depression severity or outcome."
• Stress Does Not Lead to Loss of Self-Control in Eating Disorders.
• "Metabolic disturbances of patients with PCOS without hyperandrogenism (OA+PCO; group 3) were similar to the classical PCOS groups contrary to the expectations."
