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

A challenge for longitudinal studies is combining individual assessments into visits that are scientifically logical, not burdensome for participants, well-choreographed, and operationally feasible. The visits then need to be sequenced and spaced to address the scientific goals and generate a data archive that is sufficiently robust and well-documented to support subsequent analyses. This paper summarizes comprehensive multi-disciplinary activities that were coordinated to design the content, format, and structure of the National Children's Study and concurrently serve as a model and resource for other studies.
