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

To investigate differences in body composition among female college students with varying BF% using DEXA, and to explore its potential implications for early obesity risk identification and targeted clinical intervention. A total 80 participants were divided into three groups according to BF% degrees: mild obesity group (BF% 30%-35%, N = 14), moderate obesity group (BF% 35%-40%, N = 38), and severe obesity group (BF% > 40%, N = 28). DEXA was used to assess body composition distribution in female college students with differing degrees of obesity. Within the cohort of female college students. With mild, moderate, and severe obesity groups, significant differences were observed in TFM, A/G, Android %fat, Gynoid %fat, AFM, GFM, VFA, VFM, VFV, SFA, SFM, and SFV (P < 0.05). These indicators showed an increasing trend from the mild obesity group to the moderate obesity group to the severe obesity group (P < 0.05). No significant changes were seen in TLM among the groups (P > 0.05). This study shows that BF% is a reliable and accurate measure for evaluating and classifying female obesity. As BF% degrees rise (mild, moderate, and severe obesity group), fat accumulation in specific areas significantly increases, while lean tissue shows no significant changes. The characteristics of alterations in body composition may adversely affect the general health of female college students.
