Non-Hispanic Black Adolescents' Self-Reported Health Behaviors Associated With Childhood Obesity in an Urban Clinic.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe prevalence of children with overweight or obese weight status in the United States is ~30%. Limited data exist on urban adolescents' self-reported health behaviors and their perceptions to healthy living.
objectivesTo examine adolescents' self-reported health behaviors and perceived barriers and their associations with weight status.
methodsIn 2014, patients (ages 9+ years) were enrolled and completed health behavior surveys. Measurements were categorized into body mass index (BMI)-for-age percentiles. Adolescents without obesity (including underweight, healthy weight, and overweight) were compared against adolescents with obesity.
resultsA total of 132 adolescents were enrolled. The only factor that was statistically significant between the 2 weight groups was frequent exercise, which decreased odds of obesity by 0.34 (95% CI 0.13-0.93). Surprisingly, the odds of being obese increased significantly by 11.1 (95% CI 4.2-33.3) in those reporting trying to lose weight.
conclusionsTo combat obesity, we reiterate the need for frequent exercise. Health care professionals should consider highlighting increased frequency of exercise and explore why adolescents with obesity were more inclined to report weight loss methods.
