Low maternal education is associated with increased growth velocity in the first year of life and in early childhood: the ABCD study.

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
unlabelledThe objective of this study is first to examine the relation of maternal education and growth velocity during the first year of life and early childhood (1-5 years). The second objective is to determine the potential explanatory role of standardized birth weight, maternal smoking during pregnancy, maternal prepregnancy body mass index (BMI), and infant feeding practice in this relation. We used longitudinal growth data of 1,684 participants with Dutch ethnicity participating in a population-based cohort study (Amsterdam Born Children and their Development study). Growth velocity of weight and of weight-for-length were calculated by subtracting the weight and weight-for-length standard deviation scores (SDS), respectively of two time periods. In the first year of life, children with low-educated mothers had an increase in SDS of 0.26 (95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.08-0.45) for weight compared to children with high-educated mothers. In early childhood, children with low-educated mothers had a 0.27 SDS (95 % CI 0.11-0.42) increase for weight-for-length, compared to children with high-educated mothers. Using path analysis, these inequalities could partly be explained by maternal smoking, duration of breastfeeding, maternal age, and maternal BMI.
conclusionChildren with low-educated mothers had an increased weight gain during the first year of life and an increased weight-for-length gain in early childhood compared to children with high-educated mothers. Although underlying mechanisms were not completely clarified, an optimal duration of breastfeeding, cessation of maternal smoking, and reduction of maternal BMI seem to reduce these educational inequalities in early growth and possible adverse consequences of accelerated growth.
