Effect of Dietary and Physical Activity Interventions Combined with Psychological and Behavioral Strategies on Preventing Metabolic Syndrome in Adolescents with Obesity: A Meta-Analysis of Clinical Trials.

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
Bacground/Objectives: Obesity in adolescents is escalating, accompanied by comorbidities such as insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease, which favor the early onset of metabolic syndrome (MetS). There is an urgent need for effective interventions to prevent and treat MetS. We aimed to analyze intervention studies targeting lifestyle improvements in adolescents with obesity. We also determined the effect of combining dietary and/or physical activity interventions with educational, psychological, and emotional support-based interventions compared to traditional interventions in preventing MetS in adolescents with obesity.
methodsThe PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Scopus databases were consulted. Ten clinical trials were included in the systematic review, of which six were eligible for the meta-analysis.
resultsCombined interventions significantly decreased body weight (-1.10 [-1.64, -0.55],
conclusionsSome studies suggest potential long-term benefits, but further research is necessary to define effective interventions for improving body composition and preventing MetS in obese adolescents, addressing the inconsistencies in current clinical trials.
