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

backgroundPediatric overweight/obesity has escalated to epidemic proportions worldwide. In this study, we aimed to assess the association of delivery mode and maternal age, both individually and interactively, with the risk of being overweight or obese among Chinese preschool children.

methodsWe cross-sectionally recruited 1,123 preschool children from five kindergartens in Beijing. Data were collected by a pre-validated self-developed questionnaire. Overweight and obesity are defined according to the World Health Organization (WHO), International Obesity Task Force (IOTF), and China criteria, respectively.

resultsCesarean delivery was significantly associated with pediatric overweight/obesity under the WHO [adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.60, 1.12-2.29], IOTF (1.77, 1.23-2.53), and China (1.43, 1.06-1.94) criteria, respectively. Maternal age <28 years reached statistical significance under both WHO (1.69, 1.09-2.61) and IOTF (1.69, 1.09-2.61) criteria in predicting pediatric overweight/obesity. The interaction between cesarean delivery and maternal age <28 years was remarkably significant under the WHO (2.26, 1.10-4.67), IOTF (2.92, 1.43-5.96), and China (2.36, 1.24-4.50) criteria.

conclusionsOur findings indicate that the interaction between cesarean delivery and maternal age <28 years can remarkably increase the risk of overweight/obesity among Chinese preschool children.
