Physical Fitness and Health Profile of Adolescents Living in Amazonas.

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
backgroundPhysical fitness is an indicator of health in young populations. The aim of this study was to assess the health profile of adolescents living in the interior of the state of Amazonas, Brazil.
methodsThe sample consisted of 1332 adolescents (701 girls) aged between 10 and 15 years. Body mass index, waist circumference, and waist-to-height ratio were the attributes used to assess anthropometric markers of body size. Physical fitness tests from the PROESP-Br battery were used to assess muscular and cardiorespiratory fitness.
resultsThe results indicate high prevalences of overweight and obesity, with 25% for boys and 23.1% for girls. In addition, around 50% of the adolescents had insufficient levels of cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength. Boys showed a higher prevalence of a healthy risk profile in the different physical fitness tests in all municipalities.
conclusionsThe results of this research are fundamental for the specific development of policies and strategies to promote health in young people with these social and geographical characteristics. The assessment of physical fitness in a school context can contribute to the development of public health policies for these populations, especially in communities with low economic resources.
