Prevalences and risk factors of overweight and obesity among kindergarten children in Shenzhen, China: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Aim: Obesity in children have become major public health issues worldwide. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children in Longgang District, Shenzhen, China, in the context of COVID-19 and analyze associated risk factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted through online survey from May to July 2021. World Health Organization child growth standards and the health industry standards of the People's Republic of China were used as the diagnostic criteria for overweight and obesity. The prevalences of overweight and obesity were calculated, and risk factors of obesity were analyzed using binary logistic regression. Results: The parents or guardians of 124,593 children were administered, and 108,581 subjects were included. The prevalences of overweight and obesity among kindergarten children in Longgang District, Shenzhen, were 8.3 and 7.9%, respectively. The risk factors for childhood obesity included congenital, family, and lifestyle factors. Conclusion: In 2021, the obesity prevalence of kindergarten children in Longgang District was close to some high-income countries and higher than Shenzhen before the outbreaks of COVID-19. This finding may be associated with social, family, and personal factors. Exploration of evidence-based, effective means of modifying children's health habits, and social support is urgently needed.
