The Association Between Obesity, Socio-Economic Status, and Neighborhood Environment: A Multi-Level Analysis of Spokane Public Schools.
Article in Journal of community health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Socio economic inequities in obesity have been attributed to individuals' psychosocial and behavioral characteristics. School environment, where children spend a large part of their day, may play an important role in shaping their health. This study aims to assess whether prevalence of overweight and obesity among elementary school students was associated with the school's social and built environments. Analyses were based on 28 public elementary schools serving a total of 10,327 children in the city of Spokane, Washington. Schools were classified by percentage of students eligible for free and reduced meals (FRM). Crime rates, density of arterial roads, healthy food access, and walkability were computed in a one-mile walking catchment around schools to characterize their surrounding neighborhood. In the unadjusted multilevel logistic regression analyses, age, sex, percentage of students eligible for FRM, crime, walkability, and arterial road exposure were individually associated with the odds of being overweight or obese. In the adjusted model, the odds of being overweight or obese were higher with age, being male, and percentage of students eligible for FRM. The results call for policies and programs to improve the school environment, students' health, and safety conditions near schools.
