1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Although research published during the past year suggests the prevalence of childhood obesity in the USA may have plateaued, it remains unacceptably high and places large numbers of youths at elevated risk of chronic diseases. The concept of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) is frequently used to help capture this increased risk. Use of the MetS concept with children remains controversial, however. Addressing issues related to the definition of the MetS and its utility in clinical and research settings has generated a variety of recent investigative efforts. At the same time, the past year revealed a number of promising prevention and treatment interventions for childhood obesity and the MetS. Still unknown, however, is the optimal combination of diet, exercise, and other behavioral changes for improving the obesity and MetS status of children. These issues are the subject of this review.
