Effects of an eight-month weight-control program on body composition and lipid oxidation rate during exercise in obese children.
Article in Journal of endocrinological investigation, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo investigate the effects of an 8-month multidisciplinary weight-control program, including 2 h/week of moderate physical activity, nutritional education lessons and psychological follow-up, on body composition and lipid oxidation rate during exercise in obese children.
designNineteen (7 boys and 12 girls) obese children, aged 8-12 yr [mean body mass index (BMI) z-score: 2.3 and fat mass: 35.8%] participated in this study. Before and at the end of the weight-control period body composition was assessed by bioelectrical impedance, lipid oxidation rate by indirect calorimetry during a graded exercise test, and time devoted to various activities and energy intake in free-living conditions by questionnaire.
resultsAll children completed the study, at the end of which BMI decreased significantly by mean 0.6+/-0.5 and 0.5+/-0.8 kg/m2, in boys and girls, respectively (p<0.05), and fat mass (FM) decreased by 1.7+/-2.8 and 1.4+/-1.3 kg in boys and girls, respectively (p<0.05). In addition, lipid oxidation rate during exercise increased significantly throughout the graded exercise test up to 21% at maximal lipid oxidation rate which happened at 48+/-5% of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), corresponding to 64+/-5% of maximal heart rate. Time spent at sedentary and very light physical activities decreased (p<0.001) to the benefit of recreational activities at home.
conclusionsMultidisciplinary weight-control program, with moderate-intensity physical activities, induced decreases in FM without decreases in free FM, increases in VO2max, lipid oxidation rate during exercise, and time devoted to recreational activities in free-living conditions.
