Sex Differences in the Association of Obesity With Prediabetes and Dyslipidemia Among Adolescents: 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
Background: Limited knowledge exists on whether obesity during early life stages demonstrates sex-specific associations with cardiometabolic conditions. Therefore, this study aimed to determine if the association of obesity with prediabetes and dyslipidemia differs according to sex among adolescents. Methods: Adolescents aged 14-19 years were enrolled in a cross-sectional study. Capillary blood was used to measure glycated hemoglobin and lipids. Prediabetes and dyslipidemia were determined according to international guidelines. Associations and statistical interactions (body mass index-for-age × sex) were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression models. Results: Data from a total of 1584 adolescents (826 female participants) were analyzed in the current report. Obesity (38.6% vs. 24.4%) and dyslipidemia (54.2% vs. 36.7%) were more prevalent in male than female participants; however, prediabetes prevalence did not differ between male and female participants (34.8% vs. 33.8%). The association between obesity and prediabetes differed according to sex ( Conclusion: Obesity demonstrated sex-specific associations with cardiometabolic conditions in adolescents, showing a stronger association with prediabetes in females but with dyslipidemia in males.
