Weight development in children with obesity without treatment: A Danish cohort study with long-term follow-up.
Article in Pediatric obesity, 2025. 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
introductionLimited insight exists into the weight development in children with obesity not receiving obesity treatment.
methodsThis cohort study included 467 Danish children aged 5-10 years with obesity (iso-BMI >30 kg/m
resultsDuring a median follow-up of more than 6 years, 7.9% of the children normalized their BMI, while 45.4% obtained obesity remission. BMI z-score at inclusion acted as a strong inverse predictor for normalizing BMI (OR 0.14 per one-unit SD, CI: 0.03-0.53) and for obesity remission (OR 0.17 per one-unit SD, CI: 0.08-0.37). No other significant predictors were observed in the weighted multivariable models.
conclusionHigher BMI z-scores inversely predict normalizing BMI and achieving obesity remission in untreated children. Given that many children naturally achieve obesity remission or weight normalization, resources should focus on understanding barriers of obesity maintenance and to develop effective strategies for those who do not experience improvement.
