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
<p>Introduction: Obesity in childhood and adolescence is a significant public health issue, associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. The search for effective strategies to combat obesity has spurred the development of e-health technologies, which objectively record behavioral data and correlate them with factors that increase body mass index (BMI). The aim of our study was to assess the dietary habits of children and adolescents with overweight and obesity in Greece.
methodsEight hundred eighty (n = 880) children and adolescents (mean age ± standard deviation: 12.226 ± 1.972 years, 453 males, 427 females) participated in the study prospectively. Based on BMI, subjects were classified as having obesity (n = 658, 74.8%) and overweight (n = 222, 25.2%) according to the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) cut-off points. Participants' medical history and anthropometric data were collected, and caregivers completed the self-administered ToyBox food frequency questionnaire.
resultsBoys were more likely to have obesity (78.4% vs. 71%, p = 0.011) and girls were more likely to have overweight (29% vs. 21.6%, p = 0.011). The consumption of cereal without added sugar was higher across both BMI categories than the consumption of cereal with added sugar (p = 0.016). In both groups, the majority of participants consumed more than 115 g of meat and poultry (p = 0.019) with an increased frequency of 2-4 times per week (p = 0.034). Boys consumed more water, light beverages, vegetables, meat, fried potatoes, and chocolate spread than girls (p < 0.05).
conclusionsThese findings provide information on the dietary habits of children with overweight and obesity in our country, and may help develop guidelines for the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity. </p>.
