Do adolescents with extreme obesity differ according to previous treatment seeking behavior? The Youth with Extreme obesity Study (YES) cohort.
Article in International journal of obesity (2005), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectivesAdolescent extreme obesity is associated with somatic and psychiatric comorbidity, low quality of life, and social dysfunction. Nevertheless, few adolescents seek obesity treatment, thus many may elope appropriate care. We examine whether previous treatment seeking relates to disease burden, and whether previously non-treatment seeking adolescents accept diagnostic and therapeutic offers. This information is important to inform intervention strategies.
methodsThe Youth with Extreme obesity Study (YES) is a prospective, multicenter cohort study. We developed a novel recruitment strategy to span medical and vocational ascertainment settings and directly compare previously treatment seeking and non-treatment seeking youth. Participants aged 14-24 years; BMI ≥ 30 kg/m
resultsOf 431 participants, 47% were male; mean age 16.6 (standard deviation 2.3) years, BMI 39.2 (7.5) kg/m
conclusionIrrespective of previous treatment seeking, adolescent extreme obesity was associated with high comorbidity and psychosocial burden. Acceptance of the diagnostic program overall and the therapeutic program at the job center were high. This underscores the need of innovative, accessible programs beyond the currently offered care.
