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 narrative review synthesizes peer-reviewed studies of diet and/or physical activity lifestyle interventions for obesity prevention among adolescents in Pacific Island Countries and Territories. Nine databases were searched from inception to June 2024 for English and French publications. Of 2068 records identified, nine studies from Fiji, Tonga, New Caledonia, and French Polynesia met inclusion criteria. Outcomes extracted included anthropometric indicators of body fatness, physical activity, and diet, alongside information on how interventions addressed sociocultural (communities and cultural practices), spatial (settings and rurality), and temporal (dose, duration, seasonality) dimensions. Among adolescents aged 11.8-15.4 years, intervention effects on anthropometric indicators of body fatness were mixed and generally small. Assessment of physical activity and diet was often incomplete, limiting interpretation. Future research should use robust outcome measures and participatory, locally led designs that integrate sociocultural context and align with local policy.
