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
Objective: To investigate the clinical symptoms and conduct an epidemiological survey of early-onset severe obesity among children and adolescents in Qinhuangdao City of China from 2022 to 2023. Methods: This was a retrospective study two-hundred and fifty children and adolescents diagnosed with early-onset severe obesity from August 2022 to August 2023 at Maternity & Child Care Center of Qinhuangdao were selected as subjects; additionally, two-hundred and fifty cases of healthy children and adolescents undergoing routine medical examinations in the same period were selected as the non-obese group in a 1:1 ratio. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify factors associated with the occurrence of early-onset severe obesity among children and adolescents. Results: Predominantly, early-onset severe obesity was observed in individuals aged over 14 years, females, those from families with a monthly income per capita of 5000 RMB, and children of obese parents or parents with lower educational levels. The binary logistic regression model identified several significant predictors of severe obesity, including parental obesity, maternal education level (junior high school and above), paternal education level (junior high school and above), non-picky eating habits, eating speed (faster), eating habits, daily outdoor activity duration (>1 hour), and average daily sleep duration (>8 hours) (p<0.05). Conclusion: Parental obesity, maternal education level (junior high school and above), paternal education level (junior high school and above), eating habits, daily outdoor activity duration (>1 hour), and average daily sleep duration (>8 hours) may be significant factors influencing the occurrence of severe obesity in children and adolescents.
