Height at three months can indicate overweight at two years in catch-up growth of small for gestational age infants.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
This study aimed to find an indicator at three months to predict overweight and short stature at two years in small for gestational age (SGA) infants. A total of 468 SGA infants and 4642 appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants were included. Weight and height were measured at birth, three months and two years. Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were performed for the catch-up growth. As compared to AGA infants, the weight of SGA infants was lower and the length/height was shorter at birth, three months, and two years. The weight of the catch-up group was significantly greater at birth and two years. The length/height of the catch-up group was greater at three months and two years. Trajectories of weight standard deviation score (SDS) and height SDS showed that the overweight group (BMI over the 85
