1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionObesity in adolescence is a significant ongoing public health problem that has not improved over the past decade.

objectiveThis descriptive qualitative study explores the perspective of female adolescents who are overweight or obese regarding their views on health and weight within the clinic setting.

methodsIn-depth interviews were conducted with female adolescents (age 13-19 years old; BMI ≥85th percentile) from the mid-west region of the United States (N = 28). Inductive thematic analysis using Braun & Clarke's methods was utilized.

resultsThe findings from this study revealed that the adolescents' view of health encompasses physical, mental, and psychosocial health dimensions, and despite being overweight and obese, the participants felt healthy. Participants discussed the need to eat healthier and increase their daily physical activity, but were unable to transform this into action. Within the clinical setting, the adolescents were sensitive to weight discussions.

conclusionResults from this study can increase providers' understanding of the adolescent, increase awareness of adolescent sensitivity, and assist researchers in developing age-appropriate interventions for effective treatment and prevention of childhood obesity.
