The association between overweight and opportunity structures in the built environment: a multi-level analysis among elementary school youth in the PLAY-ON study.

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 examine school-level opportunity structures of the built environment and student characteristics associated with being overweight.
methodsMulti-level logistic regression analysis were used to examine the school- and student-level characteristics associated with the odds of a student being overweight among grade 5-8 students attending 30 elementary schools in Ontario, Canada, as part of the Play-Ontario (PLAY-ON) study.
resultsSignificant between school random variation in overweight was identified [σ²(μ0)= 0.187 (0.084), P < 0.001]; school-level differences accounted for 5.4% of the variability in the odds of a student being overweight. The more fast-food retailers there were surrounding a school, the more likely a student was to be overweight; students in grade 5 were at increased risk relative to students in grades 6-8. The more grocery stores there were surrounding a school, the more likely a student was to be overweight; students in grade 5 were at increased risk relative to students in grades 6-8.
conclusionsDeveloping a better understanding of the school- and student-level characteristics associated with overweight among youth is critical for informing intervention programs and policies.
