Evaluating the Role of School-Based Physical Activity in Mitigating Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Children and Adolescents with Overweight or Obesity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundOverweight or obese children and adolescents have a higher risk of developing cardiometabolic health problems compared with their healthy-weight peers, which are likely to progress to cardiovascular disease and are associated with a range of negative impacts.
objectivesTo evaluate the effects of school-based physical activity (PA) interventions on cardiometabolic risk factors in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity.
methodA search of online databases was conducted to identify relevant studies up to 31 January 2025.
resultsEleven studies were included, involving 963 participants aged 7 to 18 years. School-based PA interventions have a significant effect size (ES) in reducing body fat percentage (ES = -0.43,
conclusionSchool-based PA interventions lasting 6 weeks longer, twice a week or more, can significantly mitigate some cardiometabolic risks of overweight or obese children and adolescents. Effective, targeted PA programs should be considered in the school setting to promote the cardiometabolic health of this vulnerable group.
