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
introductionThe study aim was to evaluate risk factors of obesity in Polish children aged 7 to 9 years. MATERIAL AND
methodsA representative group of 2571 children (1268 girls and 1303 boys) was randomly selected according to the European Childhood Obesity Group protocol. Weight and height were measured and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. A questionnaire was completed by the children's parents with respect to behavioural and family-related risk factors of obesity. International Obesity Task Force criteria were used for classification of children's obesity.
resultsObesity was found in 3.7% of girls and 3.6% of boys. There was a statistically significant association between the prevalence of obesity in girls and their mother's obesity: OR = 5.06 (1.96-13.05), p < 0.001, father's obesity: OR = 5.19 (1.96-13.69), p < 0.001, and both parents' obesity: OR = 5.43 (1.39-21.29), p = 0.01. Obesity in boys was significantly associated with mother's obesity: OR = 5.6 (2.6-12.02), p < 0.001, father's obesity: OR = 6.21 (2.89-13.37), p < 0.001, and both parents' obesity: OR = 7.22 (2.44-31.33), p < 0.001. Skipping or irregular eating of breakfast was a risk factor for obesity in girls with OR = 2.71 (1.33-5.51), p = 0.005. Neither family income nor parents' education level was related to their offspring's obesity. TV watching, physical activity level and eating in fast food places were not significant risk factors for obesity.
conclusionsEating breakfast regularly seems to protect girls from obesity development while low physical activity is not a significant obesity risk factor in this age group for either boys or girls. This finding stresses the more important role of healthy diet than physical activity promotion in obesity prevention in prepubertal children.
