Anthropometric measurements of term singletons at 6 years of age born from fresh and frozen embryo transfer: A multicenter prospective study in Japan.

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
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare anthropometric measurements between term singletons conceived via fresh embryo transfer (FreET) and frozen embryo transfer (FET) and those born via natural conception (NC) or fertility treatments milder than assisted reproductive technology (non-ART) at 6 years of age. Methods: A total of 8149 children were enrolled, and questionnaires about anthropometric measures (weight, height, BMI) were addressed to parents, when the children were 1.5, 3, and 6 years of age. A total of 3299 term singletons were enrolled at birth: 533, 476, 916, and 1374 in the NC, non-ART, FreET, and FET groups, respectively. Results: A total of 1635 term singletons (290, 176, 467, and 702 in the NC, non-ART, FreET, and FET groups respectively) were enrolled until 6 years of age (follow-up rate, approximately 50%). When non-ART group was used as control, the FreET children were 1.0 cm taller than the non-ART children at 6 years of age, after adjusting for confounding factors. However, no differences were observed in the anthropometric data among the non-ART, ART, and NC children at 6 years of age. Conclusion: At 6 years of age, term singletons were taller in the FreET group than in the non-ART group, after adjusting for confounders.
