Umbrella review of systematic reviews to inform the development and translation of community-based childhood obesity prevention interventions.
Synthesis in Obesity reviews : an official journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Community-based interventions (CBIs) can be effective and feasible for the prevention of childhood obesity. The aim of this umbrella review is to determine if systematic reviews report sufficient information to guide replication or adaptation of CBIs to a variety of contexts and aid in further development of childhood obesity prevention CBIs. Six databases were searched for systematic reviews including obesity prevention CBIs involving 0-18 year olds and reporting weight-related outcomes. Two researchers screened results. Evidence-to-decision frameworks guided which details may be required for decision-makers to design and carry-out a CBI, including information on intervention characteristics, outcome reporting and translation factors. From 3935 search results, 40 studies were included. The most frequently reported relevant pieces of information were behaviors targeted (100% of systematic reviews), intervention duration (90%) and settings involved (97.5%). Less frequently reported factors included specific actions implemented (48%), intervention intensity (30%) and organizations, or contributors involved (40%). There was a low level of reporting of equity considerations (27.5%), adverse events (20%), and costs/cost-effectiveness (17.5%). Multilevel interventions for child obesity prevention have demonstrated effectiveness, yet additional documentation of successful intervention processes is needed.
