1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPediatric obesity is common and a significant burden. Supplementing pediatric obesity treatment with technology is needed. This manuscript examines the usability and satisfaction, as well as explores initial effectiveness, of a remote patient monitoring system (RPMS) designed for youth presenting for pediatric weight management treatment.

methods47 youth, 10 to 17 years old, with obesity and a caregiver participated. For three months, families received treatment via the RPMS. Usability and satisfaction outcomes were examined. Exploratory analyses were conducted to examine initial effectiveness from baseline and post-treatment (month 3) assessments.

resultsMore than 80% of patients used the RPMS, and overall, patients completed 27 out of 90 daily sessions (30%). Youth and caregivers reported high satisfaction. Non-parametric tests revealed no significant improvements for youth or caregiver weight status after the RPMS treatment. Significant improvements in other outcomes examined were limited.

conclusionsFamilies were satisfied with the RPMS, but use of the system was limited. Initial effectiveness was not able to be determined due to the amount of missing data, which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Modifications of the RPMS and future evaluation of usability and effectiveness are warranted to determine utility in supplementing pediatric obesity clinical treatment.
