1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundWomen who had delivered a macrosomic newborn will have a higher risk to deliver another macrosomia. We aimed to examine the recurrence risk of macrosomia in the subsequent pregnancy and the implications in long-term child health.

methodsData from the Collaborative Perinatal Project, a longitudinal birth cohort with 54,371 singleton births, were used. 401 recurrent macrosomic infants (macro-macro) and 1327 normal weight babies with a macrosomia in the last pregnancy (macro-normal) were selected to explore risk factors for recurrent macrosomia. Furthermore, 768 newly onset macrosomia with normal birthweight infant in previous pregnancies (normal-macro) were identified to examine long-term health effects of recurrent macrosomia.

resultsThe recurrent rate of macrosomia was 23.2% [95% confidence interval (CI) 21.2%, 25.2%]. White race, higher pre-pregnant body mass index (BMI), more gestational weight gain, male infant and more prior macrosomic infants were significant risk factors for recurrent macrosomia. At 4 years of age, recurrent macrosomic infants had a higher BMI (16.7 vs. 16.1 kg/m

conclusionsFetal macrosomia has a high recurrence rate in the following pregnancy. Higher maternal pre-pregnant BMI and gestational weight gain are still important risk factors for recurrence of macrosomia, which in turn increases the risk for childhood obesity.
