1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Obesity is a growing global crisis increasing the risk and outcomes of a range of noncommunicable diseases including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, steatotic liver disease, and kidney disease.Obesity in children tracks into adulthood increasing their risk of noncommunicable diseases including cardiovascular diseases.A growing body of evidence confirms that there are affordable and scalable policies to promote a healthy diet and regular physical activity to prevent overweight and obesity including in children and adolescents.Despite the burden caused by obesity and its preventability, the topic does not appear to be a priority on the agenda of the global public health community and implementation of public health policies to prevent obesity at country level has been patchy.At the upcoming United Nations 4
