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

Background: Overweight and obesity are health challenges in children and adolescents and have increased in prevalence in years. This study evaluated the effects of home-based high-intensity interval training (HIIT), resistance training (RT), or combined HIIT+RT on anthropometric indices and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity. Methods: A randomized, single-blinded clinical trial was conducted in Isfahan, Iran. A total of 120 patients (aged 10-18 years) with overweight or obesity participated. Eligible participants were recruited using a simple sampling method and randomly assigned to one of four groups: three intervention groups (HIIT, RT, and combined HIIT+RT) or one non-exercising control group with dietary advice. The intervention groups received 24 home-based training sessions over 2 months. Anthropometric indices and the KIDSCREEN-27 questionnaire were assessed both pre- and post-intervention. Results: After 2 months, body weight decreased significantly in the RT group compared with baseline measurements ( Conclusion: Home exercise was associated with improvements in anthropometric indices excluding BMI, whereas HRQoL remained unchanged in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity.
