The Role of Paraclinical Investigations in Detecting Inflammation in Children and Adolescents with Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Obesity is linked to the increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS), even among the pediatric population. Some inflammatory and cardioembolic indexes derived from routine laboratory tests have captivated the attention of the medical community.
objectivesThe aim of our study was to evaluate whether these markers are effective in distinguishing varying degrees of obesity and MetS in children and adolescents.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective study. A total of 71 children and adolescents, aged between 6 and 16, were included in the study. Among them, 5 were overweight, 35 had obesity, and 31 had severe obesity. According to the NCEP ATP III criteria, 32 individuals had Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), while 39 did not have MetS.
resultsThe MetS positive group had higher values of TG/HDL-C (
conclusionsIn conclusion, we determined that some novel inflammatory and cardioembolic indexes are useful in assessing MetS and obesity in children and adolescents.
