Effect of multidisciplinary interventions on quality of life in obese children: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
purposeTo assess the effect of multidisciplinary intervention (MI) programs for overweight and obese children on quality of life (QoL).
methodsMedline, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane databases were searched for relevant studies without date restrictions up to July 2014. Included were randomized controlled trials and controlled clinical trials evaluating an MI aimed to reduce weight in overweight children and reporting QoL. The risk of bias of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane guidelines. Data were pooled for short- (up to 6 months) and long-term (12-18 months) effects using a random effects model.
resultsIn total, 11 studies were included, studying a total of 997 children aged 3-18 years. No significant differences were found between MI and control interventions on short-term QoL outcomes [mean difference (MD) 1.73, 95 % confidence interval (CI) -0.26 to 3.73 on a 0-100 scale]. Long-term results showed a nonsignificant trend toward a higher QoL in children following an MI program compared with control interventions (MD 4.40 95 % CI -0.12 to 8.92).
conclusionThere is insufficient evidence that MI programs, aimed to reduce weight in overweight and obese children, improve QoL.
