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
Little is known about the role of birth weight and other prenatal factors in the etiology of breast cancer in Asian-Americans. We investigated the relation between birth weight and other prenatal factors and breast cancer risk in a population-based case-control study in Los Angeles County that included 2,259 Asian-American women with incident, histologically confirmed breast cancer and 2,019 control women, who were frequency matched to cases on age, Asian ethnicity, and neighborhood of residence. Breast cancer risk nearly doubled (odds ratio (OR) = 1.97, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.15-3.39) among those with high (≥ 4000 g) birth weight compared to those with low (<2500 g) birth weight after adjusting for age at menarche, parity, adult body mass index, and other covariates. Risk increased 8% per 500 g increase in birth weight (P trend = 0.10). We observed a significant relationship between birth weight and age at menarche in both cases and controls. Mean birth weight was higher (2948 g) for control women who had early menarche (age ≤ 11 years) compared to those who had menarche late (age ≥ 15 years) (2807 g) (P trend = 0.016); results were similar among case patients (P trend = 0.020). Older maternal age was also a risk factor; risk increased by 6% (95% CI = 1.01-1.12) per 5 years increase in maternal age with adjustment for parity and other risk factors. Our results support the hypothesis that high birth weight and older maternal age at pregnancy may have contributed to the rising breast cancer incidence in Asian-Americans.
