1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo investigate whether birth weight and postnatal growth rates are independently related to the development of overweight and wheeze up to age 3 years. STUDY

designChildren from the LucKi Birth Cohort Study with complete follow-up for repeated questionnaires (at age 0, 7, and 14 months and 3 years) and informed consent to use height and weight data (measured by trained personnel at age 0, 7, and 14 months and 2 and 3 years) were included (n = 566). Wheeze (parental-reported) and overweight (body mass index [BMI] >85th percentile) were regressed with generalized estimating equations on birth weight and relative growth rates (difference SDS for weight, height, and BMI).

resultsHigher birth weight and higher weight and BMI growth rates were associated with increased risk of overweight, but not of wheeze, up to age 3 years. Higher height growth rate was associated with lower risk of wheeze up to 3 years, independent of overweight (aOR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.53-0.79). In time-lag models, wheeze was associated with subsequently reduced height growth up to age 14 months, but not vice versa.

conclusionOnly height growth rate, and not weight and BMI growth rate, is associated with preschool wheeze, independent of overweight. Children who wheeze demonstrate a subsequent reduction in height growth up to age 14 months, but not vice versa. Because height growth rate is not associated with overweight, preschool wheeze and overweight are not associated throughout early life growth.
