Effect of body mass index (BMI) on pulmonary functions in children of 6-14 years of age: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2022. 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
Background: Over-weight/obesity is a new global pandemic affecting children with prevalence up to 36%. It is responsible for metabolic syndrome and its future complications in children; however, its effect on lung functions in children is not well studied. Aim: To compare lung function tests [forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC), FVC, and % predicted] of children with over-weight/obesity to that of normal children. Method: it is a hospital-based cross-sectional study. Children of 6-14 years of age with over-weight [body mass index (BMI) >85 Results: A total of 103 children were included (over-weight/obese = 56, control = 47). The percent predicted (%) FEV1 (86.23 ± 12.84 vs 91.77 ± 8.68) and FVC (81.93 ± 12.12 vs 88.62 ± 10.87) were significantly lower in the obese/over-weight group as compared to control group. A signification negative correlation was found between FEV1 (%) and FVC (%) and that of BMI and waist-hip ratio (WHR). Conclusions: Pulmonary functions (FEV1, FVC) are found to be negatively correlated with BMI and WHR.
