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

Objective: To investigate the combined effects of moderate-intensity continuous training(MICT), high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and HIIT combined with dietary intervention on body composition, cardiovascular function, and endothelial cell function (as assessed by biomarkers including endothelin-1 and nitric oxide) in overweight children aged 9-12 years with a BMI ≥ 23 kg/m Methods: A total of 90 overweight children were randomly assigned into three groups with a 1:1 gender ratio: moderate-intensity continuous training group (MICT, Results: After the intervention, all three groups showed significant reductions in body mass index and fat mass. Intergroup comparisons revealed that the Joint Intervention group demonstrated superior improvements in body composition indicators. Both HIIT groups showed greater reductions in body fat percentage compared to the MICT group ( Conclusion: The combination of high-intensity interval training and dietary intervention promotes fat reduction, enhances antioxidant capacity, and improves cardiorespiratory function in overweight children. This integrated approach effectively improves body mass index, cardiovascular function, and endothelial cell function. The remarkable efficacy of this combined intervention suggests its potential value for clinical application and integration into school-based programs aimed at addressing childhood obesity.
