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/objectives: Adolescent girls with obesity often experience elevated sport-related anxiety and emotional eating, which impair both physical and psychological health. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a didactically adapted basketball program on body mass index (BMI), emotional eating, sport-related anxiety, and technical performance in adolescent girls with moderate obesity. Methods: In this two-arm, parallel-group randomized controlled trial, 64 participants aged 15-16 years were randomly assigned to an experimental group (EXP, Results: The adapted program led to significant improvements in BMI ( Conclusions: Pedagogically adapted basketball sessions represent an effective and inclusive approach to enhance motor skills, regulate emotions, and improve body composition in adolescent girls with moderate obesity. These findings emphasize the value of progressive, emotionally supportive, and socially engaging physical education programs tailored to vulnerable adolescent populations.
