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

objectivesTo examine individual, family, and program characteristics associated with changes in anthropometric and cardiometabolic health indicators in children with overweight or obesity after participating in multidisciplinary obesity management for 12 months.

methodsParticipants included children 2-17 years old with overweight or obesity enrolled in the CANadian Pediatric Weight Management Registry (CANPWR). Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to investigate the associations between individual, family, and program characteristics and changes in anthropometry (WHO BMI z-score) and cardiometabolic health indicators (systolic and diastolic blood pressure; fasting and 2-h glucose post-oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT); high density lipoprotein- (HDL) and non-HDL cholesterol and fasting triglycerides).

resultsBMI z-score data were available from 1065/1286 (82.8%) at 6-months post-baseline and 893/1286 (69.4%) at 12-months post-baseline. At 6-months, BMI z-score decreased relative to baseline (mean difference (MD) [95% confidence interval (CI)] = -0.08 [-0.10 to -0.06]; p < 0.001). BMI z-score (MD [95% CI] = -0.08 [-0.13 to -0.04); p = 0.001) and fasting triglycerides (MD [95% CI] = -0.07 [-0.13 to -0.02); p = 0.011) decreased at 12 months from baseline. Older age at baseline (estimated β = 0.025; 95% CI [0.006, 0.042], p = 0.007) and female sex (estimated β = 0.241; 95% CI [0.108, 0.329], p < 0.001) were associated with a worsened Δ BMI z-score at 12 months, while total hours with mental health provider (estimated β = -0.015; 95% CI [-0.030, -0.001], p = 0.049) was associated with an improved Δ BMI z-score at 12 months. Hours with an exercise counselor (estimated β = 0.023; 95% CI [0.008, 0.039], p = 0.003) were associated with improved HDL, while hours with a registered dietitian (estimated β = -0.026; 95% CI [-0.051, -0.001], p = 0.044) were associated with improved non-HDL cholesterol.

conclusionsMale sex and hours spent with a mental health provider, exercise counselor, and registered dietitian were related to significant improvements in several anthropometric and cardiometabolic health indicators at 12 months post-baseline.
