New birthweight percentiles by sex and gestational age in Southern China and its comparison with the INTERGROWTH-21st Standard.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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.
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
We first showed the sex- and gestational age (week)-specific birthweight distributions from primiparous and multiparous mothers. Birthweight percentiles were created by using the Lambda Mu Sigma (LMS) method. We established the birthweight percentiles in Southern China and provide clinicians and researchers with up-to-date population norms of birthweight percentiles. Then we use the data from Birth Certificate System between Jan 1st, 2017 and Oct 31st, 2017, which included 1,245,364 live births to calculate SGA and LGA ratio by these three birthweight references- the new INTERGROWTH-21st standard, China's 2015 research standard and our birthweight percentiles. The overall prevalence of SGA estimated by our standards, the China's 2015 research standards and INTERGROWTH-21st standards, were 10.21%, 12.93% and 7.98%, respectively, whereas the overall prevalence of LGA was 9.88%, 4.48% and 8.37%, respectively.
