Prospective associations of age at complementary feeding and exclusive breastfeeding duration with body mass index at 5-6 years within different risk groups.
Article in Pediatric obesity, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundChildren with overweight or obesity are at risk for developing obesity in adulthood. Certain maternal characteristics, such as ethnicity, education, body mass index (BMI) or neighbourhood, are determinants for childhood overweight risk. There are large variations in how mothers differing in these characteristics feed their infants. Therefore, associations of age at complementary feeding, exclusive breast feeding duration with childhood overweight may differ in these groups. Understanding these associations would be essential to develop overweight prevention strategies.
objectivesThe objective of this study is to study the associations of age at complementary feeding, exclusive breastfeeding duration with BMI-standard deviation score (SDS) at 5-6 years within risk groups.
methodsUsing data from the Amsterdam Born Children and their Development study, a population-based birth cohort (n = 4495), we formed groups of children at varying risk of overweight according to maternal characteristics of ethnicity, education, pre-pregnancy BMI and neighbourhood. Linear and logistic regression analyses were conducted.
resultsComplementary feeding after 5 months of age was associated with lower BMI-SDS in children of mothers of Dutch ethnicity (B: -0.12; 95% CI: -0.21, -0.04), medium-level education (-0.19; -0.30, -0.08), normal BMI (-0.08; -0.16, -0.01) and high-risk neighbourhood (-0.16; -0.29, -0.02). Compared with exclusive breastfeeding for <3 months, exclusive breastfeeding for ≥6 months was associated with lower BMI-SDS in groups of medium-level education (-0.28; 0.44, -0.11), normal BMI (-0.18; -0.29, -0.08) and medium-risk (-0.18; -0.33, -0.04) and high-risk (-0.22; -0.42, -0.02) neighbourhoods.
conclusionsAssociations between infant feeding practices and childhood BMI may differ between risk groups, implying that overweight prevention strategies should be group-specific.
