Effects of school-based "We Fit" weight control programme in adolescents.
Article in Nursing open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
aimThis study examined the effects of a 12-week school-based "We Fit" weight control programme.
designA nonequivalent control group was used, with a non-synchronized pretest-posttest design.
methodsIn total, 109 Korean high school adolescents participated. The programme comprised exergaming, diet diary and counselling, health education, and social networking service-based group discussions. Anthropometric factors, physiological factors and physical activity (daily steps and sitting time) were measured in the intervention and the control groups before and after the intervention. Programme satisfaction was assessed post-intervention. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics; the chi-square, Mann-Whitney U and t tests; and generalized estimating equations.
resultsThe intervention group showed a significantly decreased waist circumference, increased skeletal muscle mass, increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, decreased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and reduced weekend sitting time.
conclusionThis study adds to the evidence for the applicability and effectiveness of healthy weight control programmes using exergames for adolescents in school settings.
