Interventions to Treat Obesity in Mexican Children and Adolescents: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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
contextPrevalence of overweight and obesity has been rising in the past 3 decades among Mexican children and adolescents.
objectiveTo systematically review experimental studies evaluating interventions to treat obesity in Mexican children and adolescents (≤18 years old). DATA SOURCES: For this study, 13 databases and 1 search engine were searched. DATA ANALYSIS: A total of 29 studies met the inclusion criteria. Overall, 2302 participants (age range, 8-16 years) from 11 states in Mexico were included. Most of the studies (n = 17 of 29) were provided in a clinical setting. A random-effect meta-analysis of 4 randomized controlled trials was conducted and a significant effect was found on body mass index reduction that favored the intervention group (-1.52; 95%CI, -2.15 to -0.89) for short-term (≤6 mo) interventions.
conclusionsA multicomponent, multidisciplinary, and individualized intervention that includes dietary modifications, physical activity practice, behavioral strategies, and active parental involvement might help treat childhood obesity in Mexico. However, long-term results need to be produced to identify effectiveness pointers that might help establish an integrated, long-lasting care model to treat obesity.
