Body mass index-related participation limitations in daily life activities among survivors of childhood cancer: a cross-sectional study.

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
objectivesThis study compared participation limitations in daily life activities among childhood cancer survivors across different Body Mass Index (BMI) categories.
designProspective cross-sectional study.
settingThe study data were collected from two separate oncology outpatient clinics.
participants116 children with cancer aged 10.07±3.83 were included in the study. The mean follow-up time after cancer treatment turnover was 36.28±6.43 months. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Participation levels were assessed using the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) as the primary outcome of this study, and they were categorised by BMI.
resultsThe mean z score was 0.64 ± 1.12, and the average BMI was 17.76±3.56. The PODCI global functioning score averaged 80.25±15.23. There were no significant associations between the global functioning score and age, chemotherapy, or surgery (p>0.05). However, significant relationships were found between the global functioning score and gender, BMI, and radiotherapy (p<0.05). Significant functional differences were observed in the upper extremity, basic mobility transfer, happiness and overall functioning (p<0.05). No significant differences were noted in sports and physical functioning or pain/comfort across different BMI categories (underweight, normal/healthy, overweight) (p>0.05).
conclusionsSurvivors experience participation restrictions in daily living activities after completing treatment. Systematic evaluation of feedback received from patients/parents regarding physical function, sports, transfer and participation highlights the importance of BMI in childhood cancer survivors. Addressing these factors is key to achieving better health-related quality of life in functionality and participatory outcomes for survivors.
