Impact of Excess Adiposity on Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Children and Adolescents with Kawasaki Disease.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
(1) Background: To assess the impact of excessive body fat on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and coronary artery health in children and adolescents following acute Kawasaki disease (KD-CA). (2) Methods: A retrospective study of KD-CA patients (ages 8-16) who completed cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in the last five years. Participants were classified based on body mass index (BMI) and fat mass index (FMI) into normal and excessive adiposity groups. Coronary artery (CA) Z-scores were calculated using the Lambda-Mu-Sigma method, with peak VO2 Z-scores (peak VO2 Z-score) derived from a database of Hong Kong Chinese children and adolescents. Primary outcomes included peak VO2 Z-score, Max-Z (maximum CA Z-score), anaerobic threshold metabolic equivalent (AT MET), peak MET, and pulse oxygen. Statistical analyses were conducted to evaluate differences across groups. (3) Results: A total of 112 KD-CA patients were included (mean age: 11.71 ± 2.54 years). The mean peak VO2 Z-score was -0.63 ± 0.98. Participants with normal BMI and FMI had significantly higher pulse oxygen levels compared to those with excessive BMI and FMI (both
