Low Dietary Diversity for Recommended Food Groups Increases the Risk of Obesity among Children: Evidence from a Chinese Longitudinal Study.
Article in Nutrients, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 association between dietary diversity and childhood obesity remains unclear; therefore, this longitudinal study was conducted to analyze the effect of dietary diversity on childhood obesity. One year after the first investigation, a follow-up was completed in 2010. A total of 4538 participants were included for analysis. Dietary diversity scores were calculated based on the consumption of nine recommended food groups which were categorized in accordance with the 2013 United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization guidelines. After a one-year follow-up, the low-score group underwent a significantly more considerable change in weight, body mass index, and body fat percentage than the high-score group (4.62 vs. 4.06 kg, 0.76 vs. 0.51 kg/m
