Associations of birth weight and later life lifestyle factors with risk of cardiovascular disease in the USA: A prospective cohort study.
Article in EClinicalMedicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Background: Low birth weight has been associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the interaction between low birth weight and adult lifestyle factors on the risk of CVD remains unclear. Methods: We included 20,169 men from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS, 1986-2016), 52,380 women from the Nurses' Health Study (NHS, 1980-2018), and 85,350 women from the Nurses' Health Study II (NHS II, 1991-2017) in the USA who reported birth weight and updated data on adult body weight, smoking status, physical activity, and diet every 2-4 years. Incident cases of CVD, defined as a combined endpoint of fatal and nonfatal coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, were self-reported and confirmed by physicians through reviewing medical records. Findings: During 4,370,051 person-years of follow-up, 16,244 incident CVD cases were documented, including 12,126 CHD and 4118 stroke cases. Cox proportional hazards regression models revealed an increased risk of CHD during adulthood across categories of decreasing birth weight in all cohorts (all Interpretation: Lower birth weight may interact synergistically with unhealthy lifestyle factors in adulthood to further increase the risk of CHD among women.
