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
Objective: Disorders of glucose metabolism in children with obesity are less common than in adults. There is also evidence that they may be transient. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalences of impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and its reversibility in pediatric patients with obesity and to define the factors determining the reversibility of prediabetes or progression to diabetes. Methods: Retrospective analysis included of young patients with obesity. Patients presented and were treated between 2000-2022 at a single center. Results: The study included 573 (316 girls; 55.15%) Caucasian patients with median body mass index (BMI) Z-score of 3.95 (range 2.0-9.9) and median age 13.9 (2.9-17.1) years old. OGTT results were normal in 90.8% (n=520) and signs of prediabetes occurred in 9.2% (n=53); IFG 17%, IGT 88.7%, DM 0%. Among those who underwent OGTT twice (n=53), impaired glucose regulation was present in 9.3% (n=5) (IFG 40%, IGT 80%, DM 0%) at baseline and in 14.8% subject (n=8) (IFG 25%, IGT 50%, DM 25%) at follow-up after lifestyle modification only. After 12-36 months of follow up, in those with a history of IGT, 60% reverted to normal glucose tolerance, while IFG and IGT persisted in 20% and 20%, respectively, and none progressed to DM. The risk factors for progression of glucose metabolism disorders were increase of BMI Z-score, higher insulin levels and elevated homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance. Conclusion: IFG and IGT are common in pediatric patients with obesity, while the progression to DM2 is rare. Disorders of glucose metabolism have reversible character.
