Overweight Is Associated With Medium-Term Obesity Development in School-Age Children: A Mixed Longitudinal Study.

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
objectivesThis study aims to investigate the dynamic changes in the nutritional status of school-age children in five cohorts with a two-year follow-up, encompassing a span of 7 years.
methodsUtilizing a mixed longitudinal design, we implemented five cohorts with a two-year follow-up, encompassing a span of 7 years. The study's total sample comprised 101 school-age children (51 females and 50 males), aged between 6 and 11 years at the commencement of the follow-up. Anthropometric variables were obtained following standardized procedures. Subsequently, the Body Mass Index (BMI) was derived using the formula BMI = body mass (kg)/(height)
resultsThe prevalence rates for overweight, obesity, and underweight were found to be 22%, 10%, and 5%, respectively. Notably, the presence of overweight at the initiation of the follow-up exhibited a significant association with the development of obesity after a two-year period (χ
conclusionThe study establishes a clear link between overweight status and the medium-term development of obesity in school-age children, aged between 6 and 11 years. These findings underscore the need for early intervention strategies and targeted preventive measures to address this concerning health issue.
