1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This position statement is intended to synthesize and interpret current consensus and salient developments regarding the relationship between obesity and physical activity. It draws from the latest evidence and guidelines to update and share the World Obesity Federation's stance with policymakers, healthcare professionals, public health stakeholders, and civil society organizations. This statement identifies the critical role of physical activity in the prevention and management of obesity, highlights the lived experience of people with obesity, summarizes global recommendations, and considers the emerging connections between obesity, climate change, and physical activity.
