The association between area-based deprivation and change in body-mass index over time in primary school children: a population-based cohort study in Hampshire, UK.
Article in International journal of obesity (2005), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesChildhood obesity is a serious public health challenge. Cross-sectional evidence indicates that childhood obesity is strongly linked to area deprivation level, yet longitudinal research is scarce. We assessed the association of home-based and school-based deprivation indices with change in childhood body-mass index (BMI) z-score and BMI status over 6 years in Hampshire, England. SUBJECTS/
methodsThis longitudinal study linked the National Child Measurement Programme data for children aged 4-5 years (2007-08 to 2009-10) to 10-11 years. The dataset was stratified into two groups: 18,733 children for whom home deprivation quintiles, according to the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), remained constant, and 6153 children who moved home deprivation quintiles between the two time points. The associations between IMD quintiles and change in BMI z-score and status were analysed.
results63.7% of children remained a healthy weight, 3.1% remained overweight, 5.3% remained with obesity, 8.3% became overweight, and 10.3% developed obesity. Children living in the most deprived quintile increased their BMI z-score by 0.13 units more than those in the least deprived quintile (95% CI: 0.08-0.19). Home-based deprivation displayed associations with change in BMI status. (Relative risk for the most deprived quintile: become overweight 1.47, 1.21-1.78, remain obese 1.82, 1.34-2.40, become obese 2.07, 1.73-2.48.) School-based deprivation was not associated with change in BMI z-score or BMI status. Moving home to a more deprived quintile was associated with developing obesity (1.22, 1.04-1.43).
conclusionsMore children living in deprived areas developed obesity over time. Home-based deprivation level is more strongly associated with adverse change in childhood weight than school-based deprivation. Scholarly settings can provide opportunities for interventions, however obesity prevention interventions should tackle the obesogenic environment combining family and area-based measures.
