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: Childhood obesity remains a major public health challenge, and evidence on the outcomes of routine multidisciplinary care in real-world clinical settings remains limited. This study evaluated longitudinal changes in BMI Methods: This observational study included 111 caregiver-child dyads (children aged 8-16 years) attending a tertiary public outpatient clinic. Participants received routine multidisciplinary care, including an initial multidisciplinary education session followed by consultations with pediatricians, nutritionists, and physical educators. Assessments were conducted at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months, and included anthropometric, body composition, behavioral, and clinical measures. Longitudinal analyses and correlation tests were performed to examine changes over time and associations between caregivers and pediatric BMI. Results: Children showed a modest reduction in BMI Conclusions: In this real-world setting, routine multidisciplinary care was associated with modest improvements in pediatric BMI
