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.

Abstract

Background: Obesity in youth is highly associated with metabolic risk. However, a subset of individuals maintains metabolic health despite the presence of obesity. This study aims to identify key factors associated with a metabolically healthy obese (MHO) in adolescents. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 31 adolescents with obesity [median age: 14 y, median body mass index (BMI) Z-score: 2.58] categorized as MHO or metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) based on the presence of one or more metabolic syndrome criteria. A comprehensive evaluation included MRI assessments of abdominal adipose tissue distribution and hepatic fat content (HFC), physiological and metabolic assessment, serum biomarkers, prenatal and sociodemographic characteristics, and dietary habits. Results: Compared to the MUO, MHO individuals exhibited significantly lower HFC ( Conclusion: Adolescents with MHO show lower hepatic fat, improved liver markers, and healthier dietary patterns than MUO peers. These findings underscore the potential influence of prenatal and lifestyle factors in distinguishing metabolic health profiles in adolescents with obesity.
