The Role of Obesity in Pediatric Orthopedics.
Article in Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Global research & reviews, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Pediatric obesity has become a worldwide epidemic and leads to notable effects on the developing skeleton that can have lifelong implications. Obesity in the pediatric population alters bone metabolism, increasing the risk for fracture. It can alter the presentation of common pediatric orthopaedic conditions such as scoliosis. Obesity also leads to changes in the patterns and severity of pediatric fractures as well as alters conservative fracture treatment due to increased displacement risk. Obese pediatric trauma patients place a high burden on the nationwide hospital system in a variety of ways including the increased risk of perioperative complications. Obesity is modifiable, and addressing the issue can improve the orthopaedic and overall health of children.
