Time-Restricted Eating Combined With Progressive Personalized Lifestyle Modifications for Adolescent Obesity: A 12-Month Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Four adolescents, first cousins (three male, one female) residing in a joint family household, of age 11-18 years, reported with lifestyle-related obesity (established from the Z-scores for age and gender). Eleven out of 12 members of the joint family were suffering from overweight or obesity. One male adolescent (17 years, seven months) had pre-diabetes as evident from the values of fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c. Due to the young age of the patients, the parents were not in favor of initiating pharmacotherapy. A detailed study of the lifestyle of the four patients revealed unhealthy eating habits, a long duration of the eating window, short sleep duration, and a lack of physical activity. Laboratory investigations revealed elevated levels of fasting glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), and liver enzymes, indicating insulin resistance. This case-series (without any control subjects) of one year's duration involved subjects habituated to an unhealthy lifestyle. Lifestyle modifications (LSMs), including time-restricted eating (TRE), were implemented in a slow and progressive manner over a period of two months. Physical measurements and laboratory parameters were noted at zero, six, and twelve months. Care was taken to avoid nutritional deficiencies and to ensure optimum growth. Anthropometric parameters, fasting glucose, lipid profile, and liver enzymes showed marked improvement after 12 months. All four patients reduced their BMI from the obese to the overweight category. The BMI reduced from 26.4+/- 2.8 kg/m
