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

Childhood obesity represents a global concern, adversely affecting the physical and mental health of children. This condition results from a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors, among which the gut microbiota plays a significant role. Exercise, a crucial lifestyle factor, impacts obesity, with the gut microbiota potentially serving as a mediating link between the two. Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that physical activity can modify microbial imbalances and the metabolic networks of the gut microbiota, thereby effectively addressing childhood obesity. However, the precise molecular mechanisms involved remain inadequately understood. This review aims to investigate the impact of exercise on the gut microbiota and the microbial metabolites it produces. In addition, we provide a summary of several clinical trials from the past two decades that have examined how exercise influences the gut microbiota and affects the progression of childhood obesity. This study offers both theoretical and practical insights for comprehensive interventions targeting childhood obesity.
