Growth Velocity of Infants From Birth to 5 Years Born in Maku, Iran.
Article in Global journal of health science, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundGrowth velocity standards are essential for proper evaluation of child growth. The goal of this study was to construct weight, height and head circumference growth velocity charts for infants.
methodsThis study includes 256 infants (124 boys and 132 girls) born in Maku, Northwest of Iran, and monitored from birth until they were 5 years. The weights and heights of the subjects were recorded at birth, one, two, four, six months and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years of age, while the head circumferences were measured until they were 1.5 years old. In this study, the LMS method using LMS chart maker software, was utilized to obtain growth velocity centiles.
resultsGrowth velocity charts for weight, height and head circumference (5th, 50th, 95th percentiles) were obtained. The velocity growth charts decreased rapidly from birth to 2 years and then remained relatively constant up to 5 years for both sexes. The growth velocity of boys was higher than girls through the first year of age but became equal at 12 months of age and no significant difference was seen up to 5 years.
conclusionGrowth velocity studies are really sparse in Iran. In this study, longitudinal data were used to obtain growth velocity centiles. Furthermore, the weight and height velocities of infants from Shiraz, southern Iran, and U.K were compared.
