Overweight and Obese Children Aged 6-17 Years in China Had Lower Level of Hydration Status: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Nutrients, 2025. 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
purposeThe aims of this study were to explore the differences in total body water and hydration status among Chinese children aged 6-17 years.
methodsA cross-sectional study was implemented among children aged 6-17 years in China. The total body water (TBW), intracellular water (ICW), and extracellular water (ECW) were determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). The participants were divided according to age-age 6-8 years, age 9-11 years, age 12-14 years, age 15-17 years-and body mass index (BMI) of China-underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese groups. The differences of variables of groups were compared using analysis of variance, Student's t-test, and Kruskal-Wallis test. Significance levels were set at 0.05 (
resultsA total of 59,643 participants (30,103 males and 29,540 females) completed the study. As children became older, the TBW, ICW, ECW, ICW/TBW, and TBW/FFM (TBW to fat free mass ratio) increased simultaneously (all
conclusionsThe body water contents of children aged 6-17 years varied according to their age, sex, and BMI. Overweight and obese individuals may have inferior hydration status compared to those with normal weight.
