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

Introduction: Physical activity programs effectively reduce obesity and raise awareness of its consequences. Engaging in 30 minutes of daily exercise helps prevent chronic illnesses like diabetes, leading to lower body fat and improved quality of life for obese adolescents. Aim: This study evaluates the impact of a nurse-led physical activity program on obesity reduction and quality of life enhancement among adolescents. Methods and Materials: A quantitative randomized control study was conducted at Choolaimedu Higher Secondary School, Chennai, involving 100 adolescents aged 12-14 years. Data were collected using the Physical Activity Questionnaire (PAQ-A) and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL). Pre and posttest scores were analyzed using paired Results: The sample included 18 females and 32 males. The experimental group showed a 31.20% physical activity gain score and a 25.63% quality of life gain score, compared to 14.26% and 2.03% in the control group, respectively. Conclusion: Structured physical activity programs significantly reduce obesity and enhance quality of life, warranting further research on their long-term effects and optimal structures.
