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

Objective: It is well-established that overweight/obesity is a major risk factor for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in childhood. However, it is still unclear if reversing from overweight/obesity to normal weight is associated with decreased LVH in children. This study aimed to examine the association between weight status change during four years and LVH among Chinese children based on a prospective cohort study. Methods: Data were obtained from the Huantai Childhood Cardiovascular Health Cohort Study in China. A total of 1,178 children without LVH at baseline (mean age: 8.3 years) were included in this study. According to weight status [normal weight or overweight (including obesity)] at baseline (2017) and follow-up (2021), children were divided, based on sex- and age-adjusted body mass index (BMI), into four groups: persistent normal weight (normal weight at both baseline and follow-up), incident overweight (normal weight at baseline but overweight at follow-up), reversal to normal weight (overweight at baseline but normal weight at follow-up), persistent overweight (overweight at both baseline and follow-up). Results: After adjustment for potential confounding factors, children with incident overweight ( Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate a positive association between overweight and left ventricular mass in children and suggest that LVH in childhood could be attenuated by weight loss.
