Maximal fat oxidation training improves mental health in children with obesity: a 2-month randomized controlled trial.
Article in Frontiers in sports and active living, 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
Introduction: Obesity impairs physical and mental health; exercise training is a crucial intervention strategy. We examined the effect of an 8-week individualized FATmax training program on mental health in children with obesity. Methods: Thirty-six school-aged children with obesity (13.1 ± 0.9 years; BMI: 33.4 ± 2.3 kg/m²) were randomized to experimental (EXPG, Results: EXPG showed significant improvements vs. CONTG: VO₂ peak (+23%), FATmax rate (+66%), and large reductions in central adiposity (all Discussion: A short, supervised, individualized FATmax intervention substantially improves mental health and cardiometabolic health in school-aged children with obesity, plausibly mediated by decreases in central adiposity and improvements in aerobic fitness.
