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

introductionChildhood obesity is an important public health problem, which may lead to increased risk of obesity in adulthood. The relationship between the incidence of obesity and the mode of delivery is not clear. Cesarean section (CS) may be one of the risk factors of obesity in children. We investigated the relationship between the mode of delivery of pregnant women and the risk of overweight/obesity in children of all ages from 1 to 4 years.

methodsRegistered in the maternal and child registration system of Xiamen city, newborns born between January 2011 and December 2012 were followed up to 4 years old.

results9,964 cases were included in the study, of which 3,462 cases (34.7%) were cesarean deliveries. From 1 to 4 years of age, BMI Z-scores and the risk for overweight/obesity of children delivered by CS were higher than by the vagina. Longitudinal analysis of anthropometric outcomes assessed during study visits in 1- to 4-year-old offspring exposed to CS showed that after adjustment for kinds of effect factors, the changes in BMI Z-scores were 0.04 (95% CI: 0.01-0.09, p = 0.003), significantly higher than vaginal delivery, and the risk incidence of overweight/obesity by increased 8% in CS offspring; OR = 1.08 (1.01-1.21, p< 0.05).

conclusionThe mode of cesarean delivery is related to the risk of overweight and obesity in children aged 1-4 years. When pregnant women choose cesarean delivery without medical indications, they should be concerned that their offspring may have a higher risk of obesity.
