Body composition in infants: evidence for developmental programming and techniques for measurement.
Review in Reviews in endocrine & metabolic disorders, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
The consequences of fetal growth retardation remain unclear, in part because they appear to vary between industrialized and developing countries. Data on body composition offer a new opportunity to investigate this issue, and may be of particular value in addressing the controversial role of nutrition in infancy, which has been proposed by some to boost survival, and by others to increase long-term risk of chronic diseases. The uncertainty regarding the effects of post-natal nutrition is presenting challenges to nutritional policy as many countries undergo the nutrition transition, whereby the nutritional status of individuals may shift within the life-course. A theoretical model, building on the thrifty phenotype hypothesis, is presented to clarify how body composition data can address this dilemma. Measurements of body composition can now be obtained in infants and children using several different technologies, indicating that large-scale studies can now be conducted to investigate objectively the association between early growth patterns and later health.
