Residential Neighbourhood Environments and Health Behaviours Among Children and Adolescents Initiating Obesity Management Care: Secondary Analyses of Data From the CANadian Paediatric Weight Management Registry (CANPWR).
Article in Pediatric obesity, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveExamine associations between neighbourhood characteristics and health behaviours (physical activity, screen time, sleep duration) in boys and girls initiating obesity management care across Canada.
methodsWe analysed cross-sectional data from the CANadian Paediatric Weight management Registry (2013-2017) for 803 participants (with overweight or obesity; 5-17 years old). Questionnaire-assessed health behaviours included total physical activity (PA), organised PA outside of school, screen time, and sleep duration. Total PA was classified as high vs. low based on current recommendations, organised PA as high vs. low based on average attained levels for Canadian children, and screen time and sleep duration as meeting vs. not meeting recommendations. Neighbourhood characteristics (walkability, greenness, material and social deprivation) were computed for the first three digits of residential postal codes. Covariate-adjusted associations were examined using generalised estimating equations stratified by sex.
resultsParticipants (50% boys; mean ± SD: age, 11.9 ± 3.1 years; BMI z-score, 3.28 ± 1.06) living in low (vs. high) social deprivation neighbourhoods were more likely to engage in high total PA, particularly among boys (PR = 1.32, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.73). Boys living in neighbourhoods with high (vs. low) walkability (PR = 3.56, 95% CI: 1.97, 6.44) and higher greenness (PR = 1.72, 95% CI: 1.17, 2.64) were more likely to engage in high organised PA. Girls living in neighbourhoods with very low (vs. high) material deprivation were more likely to engage in high organised PA (PR = 4.17, 95% CI: 1.52, 11.45). No associations were found for screen time or sleep duration.
conclusionsThis study adds to the evidence linking neighbourhood environments to health behaviours in children and adolescents living with obesity and who are initiating obesity management care. Specifically, less social deprivation and greater walkability and greenness were associated with higher PA among boys, while less material deprivation was linked to higher PA among girls.
