Optimizing energy balance in youth: reducing sugar-sweetened beverages and screen time.
Review in Paediatrics & child health, 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
The high prevalence of children and adolescents living with obesity, as well as the multitude of associated risks, stress the need for refined weight management strategies for this population. While an overarching lifestyle intervention may be an ideal way to improve energy balance, more practical recommendations would likely improve adherence rates. This review set out to investigate sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and screen time as potential lifestyle targets to reduce paediatric obesity. We report strong evidence that both sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and screen time influence childhood obesity directly, as well as through interactions with sleep patterns. Potential mechanisms are discussed with focus on the energy balance framework of obesity. We also present methodological considerations to improve applicability and consistency of future studies.
