Determinants of fetal growth.
Review in Current diabetes reports, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Fetal growth is the end product of a variety of genetic, maternal, fetal, and placental factors. Maternal size is a dominant determinant of birth weight. Specific nutrients and their availability modify the expression of genetically determined metabolic and transfer systems. Hormones and growth factors of maternal, fetal, and placental origin regulate nutrient transfer and fetal organ development. Fetal development is ultimately determined by dynamic interactions between all of these factors beginning prior to conception and proceeding to delivery.
