Childhood Body Fat Patterns and Obesity Prevalence in Kazakhstan.
Article in Obesity science & practice, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: In Kazakhstan the pediatric population levels of obesity based on fat mass (FM) assessment are currently unknown. The present work aimed to assess average childhood FM levels and the prevalence of high levels of adiposity (based upon FM levels). Methods: Cross-sectional data from 2015 to 2020 nationally representative Childhood obesity surveillance initiative and 2022 regional surveys were used for this study of children aged 8 years ( Results: Amongst 8-year-olds, the population average FM% was 32.3% (95% CI: 31.7%-32.8%) for boys and 35.2% (95% CI: 34.8-35.6) for girls (2015) and 32.7% (95% CI: 32.3-33.1) for boys and 35.1% (95% CI: 34.7-35.5) for girls in 2020. The Almaty region had the average FM% 32.7% (95% CI: 32.1-33.2) and 34.8% (95% CI: 34.3-35.4) for boys and girls respectively in 2022. The similar pattern was observed for 9 year old children. Conclusions: The present study reveals high FM% levels in primary school age children from Kazakhstan across study years. Understanding patterns of FM levels is important for preventing and addressing childhood obesity.
