Cardiometabolic risk in adolescents with normal weight obesity.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
backgroundNormal weight obesity (NWO), which is defined by the excess of body fat in normal weight individuals, has been neglected among adolescents, due to their normal weight and young age. Few studies were carried out on the topic with adolescents.
objectiveTo analyze whether the NWO is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents. SUBJECTS/
methodsCross-sectional study, with 506 normal weight adolescents aged 10-19 years, selected in schools in Brazil. Weight, height, waist circumference (WC) and neck circumference were obtained and the body mass index (BMI) and waist/height ratio (WHR) were calculated. Body composition analysis was performed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The clinical evaluation included lipid and glycid profile, platelets, leukocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, uric acid and blood pressure, as well as the presence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components. NWO was defined by the presence of normal weight, according to BMI for age, and excess body fat (≥25% and ≥30% in males and females, respectively). Logistic regression models were used to analyze associations between normal weight adolescents with and without the NWO phenotype.
resultsNWO associated positively with abdominal obesity, analyzed through WC (OR = 1.36;95%CI = 1.27-1.47), WHR (OR = 25.89;95%CI = 10.43-64.26) and android fat (OR = 1.49;95%CI = 1.36-1.63); insulin resistance (OR = 4.09;95%CI = 1.72-9.70), hyperinsulinemia (OR = 3.83;95%CI = 1.50-9.76) and the highest values of the triglycerides-glycemia index (OR = 4.28;95%CI = 1.21-15.08); uric acid (OR = 1.81;95%CI = 1.29-2.55), as well as the changes in LDL (OR = 3.39;95%CI = 1.47-7.81), total cholesterol (OR = 2.77;95%CI = 1.22-6.29), and in at least one (OR = 1.87;95%CI = 1.04-3.37) or two (OR = 6.61;95%CI = 1.45-30.19) components of MS.
conclusionNWO is associated with the presence of cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents.
