Obesity and Overweight-Practical Management for Indian Setting.
Review in Indian journal of pediatrics, 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
Overweight and obesity are showing an alarmingly increased prevalence around the world. The increase in prevalence is seen across all ages. NFHS-5 data has demonstrated a significant increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity among both children and adults in India with a proportionate increase in the risk for metabolic complications. Presence of overweight and obesity has been associated with several metabolic dysfunctions including type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardio-metabolic disorders, and menstrual & fertility disorders. Children whose BMI is high in childhood demonstrate features suggestive of cardio-metabolic dysfunction. Growth charts pertaining to BMI charts and abdominal circumference along with clinical examination continue to play an important role in evaluation of obesity. Investigations are tailored to each individual based on clinical picture and evaluation of specific complication. Lifestyle modifications, at the earliest, with adequate sleep, sufficient exercise as suited for the age and individual, and sensible food intake help in averting long term complications. Several new drugs are available for older children. But, these are to be used judiciously based on current health, associated complications, and with the full concurrence of the family after a reasonable amount of lifestyle measures.
