Clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, and healthcare utilization among children, adolescents, and young adults with obesity in the United States.
Article in Obesity pillars, 2026. 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
Background: Obesity in children, adolescents, and young adults is associated with the early development of several obesity-related complications (ORCs) Methods: A retrospective, observational analysis was conducted using Optum's de-identified Market Clarity data (Optum® Market Clarity) between January 2019 and December 2024. Eligible individuals included 6 to 25-year-olds with an obesity diagnosis or BMI ≥30 kg/m Results: The mean ages for children, adolescents, and young adults were 9, 15, and 22 years, respectively. Across all years, a higher proportion of young adults were female compared to adolescents and children. Asthma was reported as one of the most prevalent ORCs across age groups (2024 data: children: 18.2%; adolescents: 14.2%; young adults: 12.9%). Overall, 303 (2.9%) adolescents (mean BMI 38.0 kg/m Conclusion: The study findings reveal limited use of OMMs among children, adolescents, and young adults in the US, underscoring the need for a prevention-focused, chronic treatment model tailored to this population.
