Visceral, subcutaneous, and total fat mass accumulation in a prospective cohort of adolescents.
Article in The American journal of clinical nutrition, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02784509 (Translational Investigation of Growth and Everyday Routines in Kids), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundRace and sex differences in adolescents' body fat are demonstrated in cross-sectional cohorts, yet a longitudinal design would better identify patterns of fat distribution over time.
objectivesThe aim was to examine race and sex differences in adiposity between black and white adolescents over 2 y.
methodsA cohort of adolescents aged 10-16 y (38% black; 52% girls; 15% overweight, 34% with obesity) underwent body composition measurements at baseline (n = 309) and 2 y later (n = 236), using DXA to quantify whole-body fat mass (FM) and MRI for abdominal subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) volumes. General linear models were used to examine race and sex differences in log-transformed FM, SAT, and VAT, adjusting for age, sexual maturation, extended BMI percentile, and race-by-sex interaction. SAT and VAT models in addition controlled for baseline FM and change in FM (for change models).
resultsMean (95% CI) baseline FM (kg) was higher among white [18.5 (17.9, 19.2) than among black adolescents [17.4 (16.6, 18.2), P = 0.03] and girls [19.5 (18.8, 20.3) than boys [16.5 (15.8, 17.2), P < 0.0001]. Mean (95% CI) baseline SAT (L) was higher among girls [4.4 (4.2, 4.6)] than among boys [3.9 (3.7, 4.1), P < 0.0001]. Mean (95% CI) baseline VAT (L) was higher among white [0.5 (0.5, 0.6)] than among black [0.3 (0.3, 0.4)] adolescents (P < 0.0001) and boys [0.5 (0.4, 0.5)] than girls [0.4 (0.4, 0.4), P = 0.04]. Over 2 y mean (95% CI) FM change (kg) was higher among white [3.7 (2.9, 4.5)] than among black adolescents [2.3 (1.3, 3.3), P = 0.04] and girls [4.0 (3.0, 4.9)] than boys [2.0 (1.1, 3.0), P = 0.007], but SAT change (L) did not differ by race or sex. VAT change (L) was higher among white [0.1 (0.1, 0.1)] than among black adolescents [0.0 (0.0, 0.1), P = 0.003] and boys [0.1 (0.1, 0.1)] than girls [0.0 (0.0, 0.1), P = 0.034].
conclusionsSex and race differences in the deposition and accumulation of excess fat are important considerations for understanding obesity prevalence and obesity-related disease risk among adolescents.This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT02784509.
