Increase in the prevalence of abdominal obesity in Brazilian school children (2000-2015).
Article in International journal of pediatrics & adolescent medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
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 prevalence of overweight and obese children and adolescents is a public health concern. Few studies have critically evaluated this problem in a Brazilian population, despite the growth of community-based programs to combat childhood obesity in this country.
objectiveTo study the anthropometrics of Brazilian adolescents over a fifteen-year period.
methodsIn a cross-sectional analysis, we investigated the anthropometric status of male and female adolescents in Brazil. The anthropometric data and nutritional status of 595 schoolchildren in the year 2000 were compared to 636 schoolchildren in 2015.
resultsWe found a significant increase in the prevalence of overweight or obese adolescents in 2015 compared to 2000 (23.4% vs. 18.3%,
conclusionOverweight or obese children, as well as abdominal obesity were more prevalent in 2015 than in preceding decades. This is a worrying trend as abdominal obesity increases the risk for cardiometabolic morbidity and mortality in adult life.
