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

Worldwide, hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are highly prevalent disorders and are strong risk factors for cardiovascular disease and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The developmental origins of health and disease (DOHAD) concept suggests that undesirable perinatal environmental conditions, such as malnutrition, contribute to disease development in adults. Among the known hypertension and CKD risk factors, DOHAD plays a potential role in determining susceptibility to the onset of these diseases in later adulthood. Since low birth weight (LBW) is a surrogate marker for adverse fetal environmental conditions, the high incidence of LBW in developing countries and its increasing incidence in most developed countries (attributed to multiple pregnancies and prepregnancy maternal factors, such as undernutrition, advanced maternal age, and smoking) is concerning. Thus, LBW is an important public health problem not only because of the associated infant mortality and morbidity but also because it is a risk factor for adult-onset hypertension/CKD. During their reproductive years, pregnant women who were born with LBWs have an increased risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, which contribute to the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and ESRD. The offspring of LBW females are also likely to be LBW, which suggests that susceptibility to hypertension/CKD may reflect transgenerational inheritance. Therefore, there is global concern about the increasing prevalence of LBW-related diseases. This review summarizes the relevance of hypertension and CKD in conjunction with DOHAD and discusses recent studies that have examined the impact of the upward LBW trend on renal function and blood pressure.
