Trends in Obesity, Overweight, and Attempted Weight Loss Among United States High School Students.
Article in Ochsner journal, 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
Background: In the United States (US), obesity and overweight among adolescents present growing clinical and public health challenges. In this study, we examined trends in obesity, overweight, and attempted weight loss in a national sample of US adolescents. Methods: Data from the 2013 to 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) were used to explore these issues in a large sample of US high school students. Percentages were used as effect measures, and 95% confidence intervals were used to test statistical significance. Overall data are presented, as well as subgroup analyses by sex, race/ethnicity, and grade level. Results: Between 2013 and 2023, obesity rates increased from 13.7% to 15.9% ( Conclusion: Data from the YRBS showed significant increases in obesity, declines in overweight, and fewer adolescents trying to lose weight. Although further research is necessary, these findings underscore the need for targeted clinical and public health strategies to reduce rising obesity rates and promote healthy behaviors among US high school students.
