Rate of Weight Gain and its Association with Homeostatic Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) among Obese Children attending Paediatric Endocrine Clinic, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Article in Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies, 2021. 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
objectiveWe aimed to study the median time to gain weight from baseline and factors that were associated with rate of weight gain among obese children attending pediatric endocrine clinic Hospital USM. METHODOLOGY: We recruited 70 participants with the mean age of 10.1 ± 2.94 years with exogenous or simple form of obesity from June 2019 until September 2020. We analyzed their demography (age, gender, ethnicity, family background), measured their anthropometry (weight, height, BMI) and monitored monthly weight increment and finally analyzed their HOMA-IR at baseline and after 6 months of follow up.
resultsThe mean time to gain 5 kg from baseline was 16 weeks (95% CI): (15.2, 16.7). Multivariate analysis showed only HOMA-IR after 6 months was a significant predictor affecting time to gain 5 kg; Adjusted HR: (95% CI) 1.617 (1.232, 2.123), (
conclusionThe time to gain 5 kg from baseline weight was increased 1.6 times in the presence of insulin resistance at 6 months follow up in patients with obesity. More intensive education and closed follow-up are recommended for children with obesity.
