Indicators of overweight and cardiovascular disease risk factors among 11- to 17-year-old boys and girls in Germany.
Article in Obesity facts, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
objectiveWe analyzed the magnitude of the association between cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and various measures of overweight among adolescents, to determine which indicator of overweight is most relevant for risk assessment.
methods5,546 boys and girls aged 11-17 years participating in the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS) were studied. Overweight was assumed when different anthropometric variables exceeded age- and sex-specific 90th percentiles. Blood pressure was measured and blood samples were analyzed for serum total cholesterol, lipoproteins, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c).
resultsIn both sexes, overweight was significantly associated with adverse levels of CVD risk factors, except HbA1c. These associations were most pronounced for overweight as defined by waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), or BMI. Between 11% and 37% of the overweight children exceeded the defined cut-offs for individual CVD risk factors, with age- and puberty-adjusted significant odds ratios (95% confidence interval (CI)) in comparison to normal-weight age mates ranging from 1.7 (1.0-3.0) to 6.1 (4.5-8.2).
conclusionsThe findings of this population-based survey suggest that, among adolescents, WC, WHtR, and BMI are easily applicable measures of overweight that appear to be relevant for CVD risk assessment.
