Percentile curves for cardiometabolic disease markers in Canadian children and youth: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe objective of this study to develop percentile curves for cardiometabolic disease markers in a population-based sample of Canadian children and youth.
methodsThe analysis used data from 6116 children and adolescents between 6 and 19 years of age who participated in the Canadian Health Measures Survey cycles 1 (2007/2009), 2 (2009/2011), and 3 (2012/2013). Total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and hemoglobin A1c levels as well as fasting levels of triglycerides, insulin, and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance were measured using standardized procedures. Age- and sex-specific centiles for all markers were calculated using Cole and Green's LMS method.
resultsWith the exception of hemoglobin A1c, all markers showed age- and sex-related differences during childhood and adolescence.
conclusionsWe have developed centile curves for cardiometabolic disease markers in Canadian children and adolescents and demonstrated age and sex differences that should be considered when evaluating these markers in this age group.
