Importance of characterizing growth trajectories.
Article in Annals of nutrition & metabolism, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
In the era of the obesity epidemic in children, characterizing childhood growth trajectories (weight, length/height, or body mass index/weight for length) is becoming essential for surveillance. Clinicians routinely use growth curves to identify abnormal growth trajectories. Clinical epidemiologists are interested in both the determinants of growth and the consequences of certain patterns of growth on later health and diseases. Characterizing growth trajectories is also helpful to predict future growth based on past growth and might be useful in the future to compare the impact of various interventions.
