Childhood adiposity, adult adiposity, and bone health.
Article in Pediatric investigation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
importanceChildhood and adolescence are critical periods for lifelong bone mineral accrual, but few studies have determined the impact of childhood adiposity on adult bone density.
objectiveTo determine the long-term impact of childhood adiposity on adult areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and the effect of adult adiposity on this relationship.
methodsWe conducted a longitudinal study of 1156 adults (56.3% men), for whom skinfold thickness (SFT) had been measured during childhood (6-18 years) and fat mass percentage (FMP) and aBMD were measured during adulthood (29-43 years). Adult aBMD in the lumbar spine (LS), femoral neck (FN), arms, and legs was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The direct effect of childhood SFT and its indirect effect through adult FMP on adult aBMD were estimated using general linear regression and a causal steps approach.
resultsSignificant positive associations between childhood SFT and adult aBMD were found in the LS in men (
interpretationChildhood adiposity appears to have a positive long-term effect on adult aBMD, which may be reduced by adiposity in adult men but reinforced by adiposity in adult women.
