Early Exposure to Cumulative Social Risk and Trajectories of Body Mass Index in Childhood.
Article in Childhood obesity (Print), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
backgroundChildhood social risk has been associated with increased risk of childhood obesity. However, little is known about early exposure of cumulative social risk on BMI percentile (BMIp) trajectories in early childhood.
methodsPublic data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study were analyzed (N = 3809). Maternal reports of experiences of multiple social risk factors were obtained at age 1 and 3 assessments of children. Two cumulative social risk scores were calculated by summing social factors assessed at age 1 and at age 3. Child BMIp was assessed at ages 3, 5, and 9. Linear mixed models were used to examine the effect of cumulative social risk on sex-specific BMIp trajectories.
resultsCompared with girls experiencing low social risk at either age 1 or 3, girls experiencing high social risk (≥ 2 factors) at age 1 or 3 only had higher initial BMIp at age 3 [β
conclusionsEarly exposure to cumulative social risk may have long-term impact on BMIp trajectories among girls, depending on timing of exposure. Understanding the effect of cumulative social risk in different contexts, including sex, chronicity, and timing of exposure, may have practical implications for informing effective intervention to combat childhood obesity.
