Early life exposure to famine and risk of dyslipidemia in adults: a systematic review and Meta-analysis.
Review in Journal of diabetes and metabolic disorders, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Dyslipidemia is the major contributor to the global disease burden. Earlier epidemiologic research has linked early-life famine exposure to dyslipidemia and altered lipid profiles in adulthood, but a uniform perspective has yet to be established. In response, this systematic review and meta-analysis is aimed to investigate the association of early life famine exposure and dyslipidemia in adults. Methods: Scopus, Medline and Google scholar databases were searched for articles published until October 2020. Studies of famine exposure during prenatal and early postnatal life and their association with dyslipidemia and lipid profiles in adults were included. Random effect model in the Meta-analysis and Mantel- Haenszel model was used to calculate odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals to evaluate the strength of association between famine exposure and dyslipidemia. The lipid profiles of the exposed and non-exposed groups were compared using the standardized mean difference (SMD). Heterogeneity between studies were assessed using I Results: We identified 17 studies for assessing the association between early life famine exposure and risk of dyslipidemia in adults. About 11 studies were included for meta-analysis. Prenatal exposure to famine was associated with increased risk of dyslipidemia [OR = 1.74 (95% CI: 1.31, 2.31)], total cholesterol [SMD = 2.07 (95% CI: 1.40, 2.74)], LDL-cholesterol [SMD = 1.16 (95% CI: 0.25, 0.26)] and decreased HDL-cholesterol [SMD = -0.05 (95% CI: -0.10, -0.01)]. Likewise, famine exposure during early postnatal period was associated with increased risk of total cholesterol [SMD = 0.18 (95% CI: 0.11, 0.25), Conclusions: Famine exposure in early life was found to have an association with increased risk of dyslipidemia and altered lipide profile during adulthood. Our findings highlight the need for promoting better nutrition during pregnancy and infancy to prevent dyslipidemia during adulthood.
