Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundObesity among adolescents is a significant public health concern. This study analyzes the prevalence of obesity among adolescents using data from the National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH). The analysis focuses on the impact of race and socioeconomic variables on obesity rates.
objectiveThis study aimed to examine how race and socioeconomic factors, including income level, insurance status, and adverse childhood experiences, influence obesity prevalence among adolescents.
methodsData were extracted from the NSCH for adolescents aged 10-17 years, defining obesity as a body mass index (BMI) of or above the 95th percentile (n = 3,344). Furthermore, for this study, the researchers utilized SPSS version 26 software for data analysis. The analysis focused on obesity prevalence by race (Hispanic, Black non-Hispanic, and White non-Hispanic) and socioeconomic factors, including family income relative to the federal poverty level (FPL), insurance status, and adverse childhood experiences. Obesity was assessed by reporting prevalence estimates and confidence intervals (CIs).
resultsAmong adolescents aged 10-17 years (n = 23,452 ), the overall prevalence of obesity was 16.6% (CI: 15.6%-17.7%), overweight 15.2% (CI: 14.3-16.1%), normal weight 60.9% (CI: 59.6%-62.2%), and underweight 7.3% (CI: 6.5%-8.1%). Stating that the overall
