Stakeholder views of behavioral interventions for children and adolescents with obesity: Mega-ethnography of qualitative syntheses.
Review in Obesity reviews : an official journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThe prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents is rising and is a recognized global health problem. This overview of reviews explored the views of children, adolescents, and parents/caregivers regarding behavioral interventions for obesity management.
methodsEleven electronic databases were searched to identify reviews of qualitative research regarding the views of children or adolescents with obesity, and their caregivers, concerning behavioral interventions for obesity. Synthesis was performed using a mega-ethnography approach.
resultsEleven reviews were included. Factors associated with feasibility, acceptability, and equity were identified that influenced decisions to engage with these interventions. Children and adolescents with obesity can be encouraged to engage and participate in behavioral interventions if there is a positive environment, free from stigma; have the necessary resources needed to fully engage in the intervention; are taught holistic, practical skills that allow for long-term lifestyle change, not just short-term weight loss; and are provided with activities likely to be perceived as fun and enjoyable. Interventions are more acceptable to the child/adolescent when parents and families are able to engage with them.
conclusionPractitioners can improve engagement with behavioral interventions for obesity management for children/adolescents if they are aware of specific motivating factors.
