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

Background and aims: The mechanisms occur in children with obesity after lifestyle intervention remain poorly explained. Here, we investigated the serum proteomes and metabolomes of children with obesity who had undergone 30 days of weight loss intervention. Methods and results: Serum samples and clinical parameters were collected before and after lifestyle alteration interventions. Proteomic and metabolomic profiling was used to identify the differentially expressed proteins and differentially abundant metabolites in response to weight loss intervention. Lifestyle alteration interventions significantly decreased BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference and body fat, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and high non-HDL cholesterol, but not TG and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), in children with obesity. By comparing the multiomics data, we identified 43 proteins and 165 metabolites that were significantly differentially expressed in children with obesity before and after lifestyle alteration interventions. Using integrated -omics analysis, we obtained 7 KEGG pathways that were organically integrated based on the correlations between differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) and metabolites (DMs). Further interaction analysis identified 7 proteins as candidate DEPs and 9 metabolites as candidate DMs. Interestingly, we found that some of these candidate DEPs and candidate DMs were significantly correlated with clinical parameters. Conclusion: Our results provide valuable proteome and metabolome data resources for better understanding weight loss-associated responses in children with obesity. In addition, we analyzed the number of significantly differentially expressed proteins and metabolites, shed new light on weight loss pathogenesis in children with obesity, and added potential therapeutic agents for obese children.
