Is there any association between age at menarche and anthropometric indices? A 15-year follow-up population-based cohort study.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Anthropometric indices (AI) have been known to be associated with age at menarche (AAM). The aim of this longitudinal study was to evaluate the changes in AI and its association with AAM in a community-based population in Iran. From among 10,192 women, we included 6818, aged ≥ 10 years, who were post-menarche at the time of entering the study and their AAM ranged between 8 and 18 years. Study subjects were divided into groups by tertiles birth cohort (BC) (born ≤ 1939, 1940-1969, and ≥ 1970) and AAM (≤ 11, 12-15, and ≥ 16 years). Generalized estimating equation analysis was performed to evaluate the association between changes of AI in different BCs with AAM groups. Overall mean of AAM was 13.5 ± 1.4 years. Mean body mass index (BMI) was significantly increased over time more in those with early AAM (≤ 11 years) compared to those with AAM ≥ 16 years; changes in mean BMI of 1.24 kg/m
