National Survey on the Prevalence and Geospatial Variation of Body Fat Percentage Among Preschoolers - 31 PLADs, China, 2020.
Article in China CDC weekly, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
What is already known on this topic?: Body fat percentage (BF%) is a fundamental indicator of body composition that provides critical insights into fat distribution patterns. However, comprehensive national data on BF% and its geographical distribution patterns among the Chinese preschoolers aged 3 to 6 years remain limited. What is added by this report?: This study presents novel national data analyzing the prevalence and geographical patterns of BF% among Chinese preschool children, along with key determinants. The findings reveal a mean BF% of 20.7% among the Chinese preschoolers, with distinct geographical clustering patterns. The analysis identifies significant hotspots and cold spots aligned with major geographical boundaries, while demonstrating that sex, parental characteristics, education level, and environmental factors significantly influence preschool children's BF%. What are the implications for public health practice?: These findings provide critical baseline data on preschool children's BF% levels and reveal substantial geographical disparities. The observed regional variations suggest the need for targeted public health interventions and region-specific strategies for childhood obesity prevention, emphasizing the importance of implementing evidence-based health education and intervention programs tailored to local contexts.
