Body composition, physical fitness and cardiovascular risk factors in 9-year-old children.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The independent associations of body composition and physical fitness components with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in childhood are not fully understood. Thus, this cross-sectional study examined the independent associations of body composition and physical fitness with CVD risk factors in Swedish 9-year-old children (n = 411). Unadjusted linear regression analyses showed that body mass index (BMI), % fat mass and fat mass index were all positively associated with systolic and diastolic blood pressure, Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) and Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) score (all β ≥ 0.229, P ≤ 0.001). These associations were virtually unaffected by adjustments for basic covariates (child's age and sex, maternal educational level and maternal BMI), fat-free mass and physical fitness. Fat-free mass index had generally weak associations with CVD risk factors and no associations were statistically significant after adjustments (all P > 0.27). Greater cardiorespiratory fitness and motor fitness were associated with lower HOMA-IR and MetS score in unadjusted models (all β ≤ - 0.158, P ≤ 0.039) but not after adjustments for basic covariates and body composition. These findings indicate that cardiovascular health promotion in childhood may focus on the maintenance of a healthy fat mass.
