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

backgroundHealth-related quality of life (HRQOL), a multifaceted construct for understanding health and healthcare outcomes, is comprised of eight domains of well-being and functioning over time and has become an essential factor in assessing outcomes for youth with obesity.

aimsTo evaluate the effect of a community based, lifestyle intervention, on obesity-specific HRQOL using the Sizing Me Up (SMU) in this group of Latino and White youth. MATERIALS AND

methodsFor this 12-week family and community-based intervention (ACT; Actively Changing Together), HRQOL was measured before and after the intervention concluded using the obesity-specific HRQOL tool, SMU. This study enrolled 68 youth (10.9 ± 2 years; 54% male; 50% non-Hispanic white). Paired

resultsSignificant improvements from baseline to follow-up were found in the total SMU (mean change = 5.27, SD 10.76,

conclusionsSizing Me Up provided a clinically meaningful tool for this research study to evaluate obesity-specific HRQOL among Hispanic and non-Hispanic White youth with obesity.
