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
backgroundAdult body size has long been known to influence breast cancer risk, and there is now increasing evidence that childhood and adolescent body size may also play a role.
methodsWe assessed the association with body size at ages 10, 15, and 20 years in 475 premenopausal and 775 postmenopausal Hispanic women who participated in a population-based case-control study of breast cancer conducted from 1995 to 2004 in the San Francisco Bay Area. We used unconditional logistic regression to estimate ORs and 95% CIs for the associations with self-reported relative weight compared with peers and body build at ages 10, 15, and 20 years.
resultsIn premenopausal women, we found inverse associations with relative weight compared with peers, with ORs of 0.63 (P(trend) = 0.05), 0.31 (P(trend) < 0.01), and 0.44 (P(trend) = 0.02) for heavier versus lighter weight at ages 10, 15, and 20 years, respectively. These inverse associations were stronger in currently overweight women and U.S.-born women and did not differ significantly for case groups defined by estrogen receptor status. In postmenopausal women, not currently using hormone therapy, inverse associations with relative weight were limited to U.S.-born Hispanics.
conclusionsLarge body size at a young age may have a long-lasting influence on breast cancer risk in premenopausal, and possibly postmenopausal, Hispanic women that is independent of current body mass index. IMPACT: These findings need to be weighed against adverse health effects associated with early-life obesity.
