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

Introduction: This study implements the School-Family-Research Integrated Health Promotion Program for Overweight and Obesity (SFR-OO), which combines exercise and dietary interventions to combat adolescent obesity. It aims to enhance body composition, exercise motivation, SE, and physical fitness. By using a cross-lagged model, the study will explore causal relationships between self-esteem (SE), exercise self-efficacy (ESE), physical activity, and body composition. Methods: Ninety-eight adolescents were randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. The intervention group received the SFR-OO intervention for 12 weeks. Assessments included physical fitness tests, body composition, and psychological indicators. Results: While both groups showed a time effect ( Discussion: The 12-week SFR-OO effectively enhanced adolescents' body composition, physical fitness, and psychological outcomes. However, SE and ESE did not significantly predict MVPA or BFP. MVPA modestly predicted reduced BFP only within the intervention group, suggesting a context-dependent effect. This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov under the registration number NCT06524908.
