The Relationship Between Fat-Free Mass and Glucose Metabolism in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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
Purpose: To assess the relationship between fat-free mass (FFM) and glucose metabolism in children 0-18 years of age. Methods: We performed a systematic review of the literature on Medline/PubMed, SinoMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library using the PRISMA 2020 guidelines to 12 October 2021; this encompassed observational studies in which the relationship between FFM and glucose metabolism was assessed. Correlation coefficient ( Results: We included eight studies comprising 13,282 individuals, five of which involved the assessment of the relationship between FFM and blood glucose, and four on the relationship between FFM and insulin resistance (IR). Our results showed that FFM was significantly associated with fasting plasma insulin levels ( Conclusion: Our results indicated that FFM was significantly associated with fasting plasma insulin levels. As far as we have determined, this is the first-ever systematic review and meta-analysis of the associations between FFM and glucose metabolism in children and adolescents; and our results thus provide novel information to fill a gap in the literature in this area.
