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

Background: Cardiopulmonary fitness is associated with several physical health indicators in children and adolescents and has shown a downward trend in recent years. The 20-m SRT has received widespread attention from scholars as a recognized indirect measure for evaluating cardiopulmonary fitness. However, few studies have analyzed the association between the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI), a novel indicator, and cardiopulmonary fitness in Chinese children and adolescents. Methods: In this study, 41,523 children and adolescents aged 6-17 years in China were assessed for weight, waist circumference, 20-m SRT, and related covariates. One-way ANOVA, LSD, and curvilinear regression analyses were used to analyze the associations that existed between WWI and 20-m SRT. Results: Comparison of WWI and 20-m SRT scores among Chinese children and adolescents of different ages showed statistically significant differences ( Conclusion: There is an inverted "U" curve relationship between WWI and 20-m SRT in Chinese children and adolescents aged 6-17 years, and this relationship is reflected in different genders and age groups. In the future, we should ensure that the WWI of children and adolescents is within a reasonable range to better promote cardiopulmonary fitness.
