Adolescent Obesity: A Stepwise Clinical Approach.
Review in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Adolescent obesity is one of the most pressing pediatric public health challenges of this generation, with a near tripling of prevalence over three decades. Most adolescents with obesity have an exogenous cause, but a small proportion harbor pathological causes that warrant timely recognition. The Indian context is distinctive as complications develop at lower BMI thresholds, low birth weight and a family history of type 2 diabetes are key predictors of metabolic risk, and metabolically healthy obesity is observed in around 40% of obese children. Stepwise evaluation distinguishing exogenous from pathological causes, followed by screening for metabolic and mechanical complications, provides cost-effective assessment. Management combines structured lifestyle change with judicious pharmacotherapy and bariatric surgery in carefully selected adolescents. Prevention strategies anchored in early-life nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and screen-time regulation remain the cornerstone of long-term control.
