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

objectiveDeveloping an appropriate context-based school-age obesity prevention programme, understanding the root causes of obesity in real-life situations is vital. The objectives of this study were to explore the risk factors of school-age obesity based on Ecological System Theory (EST) and develop mutual problem-solving guidelines for school-age obesity prevention.

methodsParticipation Action Research (PAR) was used as the study design. The data collection employed focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, participant's observations, together with the procedures of Appreciation, Influence, and Control (AIC) with 55 school key informants.

resultsRisk factors supported by EST at all level included high-calorie intake; sedentary lifestyles; perceptions of 'Chubby are cute'; indulgent parenting, including limited exercise area in school. PAR process guarantees the sustained context-based prevention guidelines.

conclusionsThe results could be used as a policy-driven for school-based participation and environmental support in order to promote health-promoting school.
