Impacts of infancy rapid weight gain on 5-year childhood overweight development vary by age and sex in China.
Article in Pediatric obesity, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
objectivesTo investigate the critical period for overweight development during early childhood by examining growth trajectory and related sex differences.
methodsUsing piecewise linear mixed models and logistic regression, we examined the effect of growth trajectory at different periods on overweight at age 4-5 by sex among 13,6 971 regularly followed children (mean: 12.2 times) during 2000-2005 in south China.
resultsThe high-body mass index (BMI) group (>top tertile of BMI Z score at age of 4-5 years) had faster growth rates of BMI, BMI Z score, weight and height than the low-BMI group in the first 3 months of life. Boys were more likely to be overweight [odds ratio (OR) = 2.0, 95% confidence interval: 1.5-2.7] than girls; the male high-BMI group had higher growth rates during the first 3 months than girls with high-BMI, independently of environmental factors. Those fast grown (in the upper tertile of growth rates in BMI and BMI Z score) in periods 0-3 months had relatively higher OR of at risk of overweight at age of 4-5 years than those in other periods.
conclusionsOverweight risk develops during the first 3 months of life. Boys have an earlier peak in growth than girls, which may help explain why overweight is more prevalent in boys in China.
