Usefulness of the satiety quotient in a clinical pediatric obesity context.
Trial report in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundWhile the satiety quotient (SQ) is increasingly used in pediatric populations, the present study assessed its reliability and reproducibility in adolescents with obesity.
methodsSixty-eight adolescents with obesity were enrolled. Anthropometric measurements and body composition (DXA) were assessed. They randomly completed two experimental sessions: (i) condition with a standardized breakfast used to calculate SQ (C1); (ii) condition with the same breakfast and ad libitum lunch and dinner buffet meals (C2). Appetite feelings were assessed at regular interval (visual analog scales).
resultsSQ for hunger (SQH), satiety (SQS), prospective food consumption (SQP), and desire to eat (SQD) were calculated using the breakfast. SQH, SQD, and SQ mean did not differ between conditions (p = 0.41, 0.57, and 0.74, respectively) whereas SQS and SQP were significantly different between conditions (p = 0.007 and 0.005). None of the SQ was correlated with body weight (BW), BMI, or FM. There was no significant correlation between the SQ and the adolescent's ad libitum energy intake (lunch, dinner, and total). No differences were observed between adolescents with a low and high phenotype for BW, BMI, and FM% (p = 0.26, 0.30, and 0.83); total energy (p = 0.21); total protein intake (p = 0.28); total fat intake (p = 0.24) and total carbohydrate intake (p = 0.44). Thirty percent of the adolescents showed different satiety phenotype (low vs. high) between C1 and C2.
conclusionsWhile the SQ is a reliable indicator in adults, it must be used with caution in adolescents with obesity due to its lack of association with anthropometric measurements, body composition, and energy and macronutrient intakes in this population.
