Children's behaviour and childhood obesity.
Review in Pediatric endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers.
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
Childhood obesity is a major complex and multifaceted public health challenge with significant short- and long-term health consequences. It is also associated with a significant reduction in quality of life and poorer mental health outcomes. In general, obesity occurs when energy intake exceeds energy expenditure. In children, however, the former can be interpreted as when a child has a body mass index (BMI) at or above the 95th percentile for children of the same age, sex, and ethnicity on growth charts. Obesity in children is influenced by a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, socio-economic, and behavioural factors. The relationship between a child's behaviour and childhood obesity is multifaceted and influenced by various factors, including dietary habits, physical activity levels, sedentary behaviours, family dynamics, socio-economic status, and environmental factors. Effective strategies for preventing and managing childhood obesity require a comprehensive, multi-sectoral approach that addresses individual, family, community, and educational institutes. Thus, addressing childhood obesity requires a comprehensive approach that addresses not only biological and environmental factors but also behavioural factors that influence children's eating behaviours, physical activity levels, sleep patterns, and emotional well-being. Early intervention and ongoing support are crucial for promoting healthy growth and development and reducing the burden of childhood obesity on individuals, families, and societies. This review discusses factors that influence the child's behaviour and the relationship between the child's behaviour and childhood obesity.
