Multidimensional School-Based and Family-Involved Interventions to Promote a Healthy and Sustainable Lifestyle (LIVELY) for Childhood Obesity Prevention: Study Protocol.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05966051 (MuLtidimensional School-based and Family Involved interVentions, to Promote a hEalthy and Sustainable LifestYle for the Childhood Obesity Primary Prevention), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundChildhood obesity has become a significant public health concern over the past 2 decades, posing multifactorial challenges, including modifiable factors like dietary habits, physical activity, screen time, and sleeping habits. Prevention efforts require a comprehensive approach comprising educational interventions, collaboration among multidisciplinary teams, and community engagement. Since schools play a central role in children's lives, they are the ideal setting for promoting healthy habits.
objectiveThe LIVELY (Multidimensional School-Based and Family-Involved Interventions to Promote a Healthy and Sustainable Lifestyle) study will assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity in primary school children and identify contributing factors within families. Additionally, it aims to implement and evaluate a multidimensional, multidisciplinary intervention to foster a sustainable and healthy lifestyle, ultimately working toward preventing obesity in school-aged children.
methodsDuring the school year, each class will be individually involved in a multidimensional educational intervention covering the topics of healthy, sustainable nutrition and lifestyle. Children will also participate in a multimedia lab where they will create an animated cartoon. The lectures will engage them through various methods, including direct instructions, games, and drawing activities, to stimulate and enhance their learning and involvement.
resultsData collection began in October 2023 and will last until the end of October 2024. A sample of 227 children from 14 classes was included in the study. The mean age was 8.9 (SD 1.2) years, and 48% (n=110) were males. Among the overall sample, 18.1% (n=41; 95% CI 13.7%-23.7%) were overweight, while 5.3% (n=12; 95% CI 3%-9%) had obesity. Males had a higher prevalence of obesity than females (9.1%, n=10 vs 1.7%, n=3, P=.03, respectively). Otherwise, the prevalence of central obesity was similar between the two (P=.329). Data analysis and the presentation of the complete results will be available after the end of 2024.
conclusionsThe study could lead to the structuring of an educational intervention model in school settings aimed at preventing childhood obesity. Moreover, it could help raise awareness of childhood obesity and help prevent this public health issue.
