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

PurposeAssess obesity and cardiometabolic disease risk factors among a high-risk pediatric population.DesignObservational, cross-sectional study using electronic medical records (EMR).SettingThe only academic medical center in Mississippi.SampleData were extracted for children and adolescents aged 2 through 19 years treated in primary care from 2013-2023.MeasuresMeasures of height, weight, blood pressure, lipid profiles, and hemoglobin A1c were categorized to determine the prevalence of obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia.AnalysesMultivariable regression models were used to establish the association between age- and sex-adjusted body mass index z-score (zBMI) and demographic characteristics. Outcomes were explored by race/ethnicity, sex, age, insurance type, visit year, and rurality.ResultsThe study sample included 38 275 participants (M age = 8.9 years, SD = 5.3; 48.7% female; 45.4% non-Hispanic Black [NHB]). Half of NHB females aged 12 through 19 were either overweight (19.0 %), obese (15.9%), or severely obese (14.9%). Age was positively associated with BMI z-score (
