Childhood body mass index at diagnosis and its association with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the United States: a children's oncology group data analysis project.
Article in Leukemia & lymphoma, 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
Childhood obesity has historically increased with time. Associations are noted between obesity and cancer in adults; but little investigation has been done in children. We conducted a matched case control study to assess the association between body mass index (BMI) and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) in children. Case information is from Children's Oncology Group and controls from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. There was no association between obesity and NHL overall, but patients less than 10 years, showed a positive association if outside of the normal BMI range, both obesity and underweight. Additionally, there was an association between NHL and underweight overall, in males, and in non-Hispanic/Latino children. Obesity showed an inverse association with NHL in females and children older than 10. We were not able to assess causality. Disease causing weight loss prior to diagnosis likely skewed baseline weights lower. Additional studies with BMI prior to diagnosis are needed.
