Understanding the obesity epidemic among north Indian medical students: Prevalence, risk factors, and health implications.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Obesity among medical students is a significant public health issue with various contributing factors, including dietary habits, physical activity, and genetic predisposition. This study aims to assess obesity prevalence and its associated factors among North Indian medical undergraduates. Aim: To assess the prevalence of obesity and its relationship with various factors among medical undergraduates in North India. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from September 15, 2024, to October 15, 2024, at a tertiary care institute. All students from the MBBS Batch 2023 participated via convenient sampling. Data were collected through a Google form covering sociodemographic, dietary and physical habits, and mental health. Analysis was performed using SPSS Trial version 26. Results: Out of 208 students, 6% were underweight, 66.8% were normal weight, 17.8% were overweight, and 5.8% were obese. Significant associations were found between BMI and gender ( Conclusion: Obesity prevalence among medical students in North India is influenced by a complex interplay of sociodemographic, lifestyle, and genetic factors. Targeted programs are needed to address these specific predictors and support health management in medical students.
