Impact of childhood obesity on cardiac structure and function.
Article in Current treatment options in cardiovascular medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
opinion statementObesity prevalence is still on the rise worldwide in both adults and children. In adults, obesity is a significant cardiovascular risk factor associated with increased morbidity and mortality. In children and adolescents this is more controversial, but early changes in cardiovascular function have been observed with possible long-term implications. In this review, we focus on the cardiac impact of childhood obesity. Obese children have been shown to have larger left atrial and ventricular dimensions, and increased left ventricular mass compared to normal weight controls. In contrast to the adult population, heart failure and significant ventricular dysfunction with reduced ejection fraction has not been reported in obese children. Several studies suggest the presence of sub-clinical myocardial dysfunction with reduced tissue Doppler velocities and myocardial deformation (strain and strain rate) in obese children. These early myocardial changes are associated with a variety of risk factors, such as systemic hypertension, diabetes, and lipid abnormalities (metabolic syndrome). As the long-term effect of these early changes is uncertain, and only very limited data are available on the effect of weight reduction and lifestyle changes on myocardial functional parameters, no interventional strategies are currently recommended.
