Ball games and nutrition counseling improve postural control in overweight children.
Trial report in BMC pediatrics, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01825174 (Musculoskeletal Consequences of Pediatric Overweight - Efficiency of Different Interventions on Health, Motor and Psychosocial Development in Overweight and Obese Children), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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

Abstract
backgroundMotor skills are impaired in overweight children whose levels of physical activity are low and these children are more likely to sustain lower extremity injuries. The purpose of this study was to analyze prospectively in overweight children the influence of ball games and nutrition counseling on postural control.
methodsIn all, 46 overweight children (age: 6-12 years, BMI: female: 25.2 ± 3.6 kg/m(2), male: 26.2 ± 2.8 kg/m(2) (mean value ± standard deviation) were examined prospectively in four randomized groups (ball games, nutrition counseling, ball games and nutrition counseling, and group without intervention) for six months. A one-legged standing test was performed.
resultsThe children demonstrated improved postural control after six months of intervention: mean difference M1-M2 ± standard deviation: 5 ± 6 error points (p < 0.001, T = 4.906), whereas the control group without intervention did not show any significant improvement: 2 ± 8 error points (p = 0.357, T = 0.972).
conclusionsBall games and nutrition counseling have a positive influence on postural control and therefore could help prevent injury.
