The effect of exercise training videos on self-esteem of 7-10-year-old obese girls: A randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC public health, 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
backgroundChildhood obesity in girls is a well-known problem worldwide and can affect their self-esteem. Losing weight through physical activity and exercise can also have positive psychological consequences for children. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of exercise training videos on the self-esteem of obese girls aged 7 to 10. MATERIAL &
methodThis randomized controlled trial was conducted on 104 obese girls aged 7 to 10. Participants were randomly divided into two intervention groups (n = 52) and one control group (n = 52). The intervention program consisted of 8 weeks of exercise training, which was presented as educational videos and provided to the intervention group. Parents completed the self-esteem scale during both the pre-test and post-test phases. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).
resultsThe results showed a significant difference in mean self-esteem (F = 2264.73, p ≤ 0.01) scores between the control and intervention groups after the intervention. After 8 weeks of intervention, the results indicated body weight loss (F = 630.17) and body mass index (F = 333.73) in the experimental group (p < 0.01).
conclusionImplementing an exercise program through educational videos positively affected self-esteem, weight loss, and body mass index in obese girls. The exercise program developed in this study may benefit families, schools, and educational and therapeutic centers.
