Childhood Obesity: Prevalence and Prevention in Modern Society.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Over the previous few years, childhood obesity rates have risen globally. Obesity is defined as an accumulation of adipose tissue that is of sufficient magnitude to impair health. There is a significant negative impact of obesity on a child's health both in childhood as well as in adulthood. Both industrialized and emerging nations face severe public health risks due to the increased prevalence of obesity in children. Overweight children are more likely to develop obesity as they get older. Children who are overweight struggle with physical exercise. Therefore, children should be encouraged to include any form of physical activity in their daily routine. Parents play a major role in adapting a child to a healthy environment. Assessing the child's nutritional adequacy concerning what the child consumes and the recommended diet is vital. In some regions of the world, obesity has replaced malnutrition as the primary issue, with nutrition, overweight, and obesity being up to four times more prevalent than malnutrition. Worldwide, there have been significant changes in lifestyle over the last few years that have led to less physical activity and higher calorie-dense food intake. Obesity in children may lead to hypertension, coronary disease, and a greater incidence of diabetes complications and metabolic syndrome. It is necessary to develop new methods for treating and preventing childhood obesity. This article examines the widespread presence of childhood obesity, its various causes and consequences, as well as available interventions.
