One-year effects of two intensive inpatient treatments for severely obese children and adolescents.
Trial report in BMC pediatrics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundIntensive inpatient lifestyle treatment may be a suitable alternative for severely obese children and adolescents who do not benefit from ambulatory obesity treatment. The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of two intensive one-year lifestyle treatments with varying inpatient periods for severely obese children and adolescents with regard to SDS-BMI and cardiometabolic risk factors.
methodsThe study was designed as a randomized controlled trial with two active treatment groups. Eighty participants (8-19 years) with severe obesity received treatment at a specialized childhood obesity center in the Netherlands. Severe obesity was defined as a SDS-BMI ≥ 3.0 or a SDS-BMI ≥ 2.3 in combination with obesity-related comorbidity. Participants received an intensive one-year lifestyle treatment with an inpatient period of either two months and biweekly return visits during the next four months (short-stay group) or six months (long-stay group), both followed by six monthly return visits. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, six and 12 months and included SDS-BMI as primary outcome and cardiometabolic risk factors such as SDS-waist circumference, systolic- and diastolic blood pressure, and blood measurements as secondary outcomes. To evaluate differences in the course of the primary- and secondary outcomes over time between the two treatment groups, Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) were performed.
resultsNo differences in the course of SDS-BMI or secondary outcomes over time were found between the two treatment groups after one year of treatment. SDS-BMI decreased statistically significantly after one year of treatment compared with baseline in both groups (0.33 (0.48) in the short-stay and 0.52 (0.49) in the long-stay group). Similar results were found for SDS-waist circumference, diastolic blood pressure and HDL-cholesterol.
conclusionsSince there were no significant differences in effects between the short- and long-stay treatment and considering the burden of the long-stay treatment for children and families, we recommend implementation of the short-stay treatment.
