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.

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.

Abstract

Background: Several weight loss interventions have been provided for adolescents. However, these interventions were often not adequately tailored to their perception. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of tailored multichannel interventions on weight loss among adolescents. Methods: This study is a randomized controlled trial. A total of 279 adolescents, whose Body Mass Index (BMI) was≥25 kg/m Results: The independent Conclusion: Adolescents in the IG experienced significant weight loss and a positive change in their perception of weight management. The study findings suggest that such tailored multichannel interventions be integrated with other community-based participatory approaches to enhance external cues to action and overcome the perceived barriers in the long term. Clinical trial registration: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06767072, NCT06767072.
