Relationship Between Birth Weight and the Double Product in Childhood, Adolescence, and Adulthood (from the Bogalusa Heart Study).
Article in The American journal of cardiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00005129 (The Bogalusa Heart Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.

Abstract
Low birth weight is associated with cardiovascular disease and its risk factors, including heart rate and blood pressure. Therefore, we examined the hypothesis that birth weight is related to blood pressure-heart rate product (double product, DP), an index of oxygen consumption and workload of the heart, at different ages. Heart rate at rest, blood pressure at rest, and birth weight data were available in 2,340 children (4 to 11 years), 1,621 adolescents (12 to 19 years), and 2,315 adults (20 to 52 years) from the Bogalusa Heart Study (total n = 6,276). After adjustment for age, sex, race, and body mass index, gestational age-adjusted birth weight was inversely associated with DP, with per 100-g decrease in birth weight associated with an increase of 12.8, 22.9, and 23.2 beats/min × mmHg in DP in children (p = 0.016), adolescents (p = 0.0007), and adults (p = 0.0006), respectively. An amplifying trend of the association with age was observed in the total sample (p = 0.002). In conclusion, birth weight is associated with increased DP beginning in childhood, which may partly mediate the association between low birth weight and increased cardiovascular risk later in life.
