A risk factor for early wheezing in infants: rapid weight gain.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between rapid weight gain and early wheezing.
methodsThis study screened 701 infants with lower respiratory tract infection who were no more than 4 months from Jan 1st to Dec 31st in 2018. According to weight-for-age Z-value (WAZ), these infants were divided into the considerably slow weight gain group (group I), the normal weight gain group (group II) and the excessively rapid weight gain group (group III), respectively. The clinical characteristics, weight growth speeds and serum lipid levels were analyzed, and multivariable Logistic model was conducted to select significant variables.
resultsOur results showed that male (OR = 1.841, 95%CI: 1.233-2.751), family wheezing (OR = 5.118, 95%CI: 2.118-12.365), age (OR = 1.273, 95%CI: 1.155-1.403), eczema (OR = 2.769, 95%CI: 1.793-4.275), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection (OR = 1.790, 95%CI: 1.230-2.604), birth weight (OR = 1.746, 95%CI: 1.110-2.746) and total cholesterol (TC) (OR = 1.027, 95%CI: 1.019-1.036) and ΔWAZ (OR = 1.182, 95%CI: 1.022-1.368) were associated with early wheezing. Results indicated that serum TC (P = 0.018) and ΔWAZ (P = 0.023) were positive correlation with wheezing days.
conclusionBesides male, family wheezing, age, eczema, RSV infection, birth weight and TC, the rapid weight growth as a risk factor should be concerned in the early wheezing infants.
