Growth Trajectories of Body Mass Index during Childhood: Associated Factors and Health Outcome at Adulthood.
Article in The Journal of pediatrics, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04112251 (Effect of Cocoa Flavonols Oral Supplement on Body Composition, Metabolic, Inflammatory and Oxidative Profile in Obese Subject 10 to 16 Years), which is not on this map. Cited by 44 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo identify body mass index (BMI) trajectories from birth to age 10 years and to assess their association with child and parental characteristics and with adult nutritional status and metabolic risk factors. STUDY
designRetrospective cohort study with 1188 subjects aged 20-60 years. Childhood growth was assessed using measured weight and height data collected retrospectively from health booklets, which also provided information on gestational age, birth weight, and early nutrition. Height, weight, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, lipids profile, and blood pressure were measured at adulthood. Participants self-reported parental silhouette based on a 9-figural scale. Group-based modeling was applied to identify BMI trajectories. Associations were assessed using ANOVA and multiple logistic regression.
resultsFive growth trajectories following or crossing BMI percentiles emerged: stable-25th (15.3% of the sample), stable-50th (35.9%), stable-75th (28.0%), ascending-75th (19.2%), and ascending-obesity (1.6%). Overall, associated factors from early life were mother's corpulence (higher in the ascending-obesity group), gestational age (higher in the stable-50th, stable-75th, and in the ascending-obesity groups), and birth weight (higher in the ascending-obesity group) (all P < .05). Childhood trajectories were associated with adult BMI and waist circumference (higher in the stable-75th and in the ascending groups) (all P < .0001).
conclusionsThis study shows heterogeneity in patterns of growth trajectories. Specific trajectories were associated with greater BMI and waist circumference during adulthood. Monitoring growth trajectories may improve chronic disease prevention.
