The influence of a multidisciplinary intervention program on Achilles tendon structure in children with overweight and obesity.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2020. 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
The effects of childhood obesity on tendon structure and its relation to physical activity are barely known. We aimed to investigate the influence of a 6-month multidisciplinary childhood obesity management program (which included dietary intervention and an exercise program) on Achilles tendon structure in overweight/obese children. Twenty-five overweight/obese children (overweight group) who participated in a 6-month multidisciplinary childhood obesity program, and 27 normal-weight controls were examined for anthropometric measurements and for Achilles tendon structure (using ultrasound tissue characterization to capture a three-dimensional structure of four echo type fibers and the cross-sectional area) at baseline, 3, and 6 months. The BMI of the overweight group significantly decreased from the pre- to the post-intervention period, (p = .002, η
