The association between birth weight and the risk of neuroblastoma: a meta-analysis of observational studies involving 4,361,141 participants.
Review in American journal of cancer research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
One of the most common extracranial solid tumors in childhood is neuroblastoma. In this study, it was aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the risk of neuroblastoma in both high and low birth weights. The PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines were followed during the design, analysis, and reporting of this study. A comprehensive literature search was undertaken for the published papers in Embase, PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and the Web of Science (WoS) databases. The odds ratio (OR) of neuroblastoma in high and low birth weight groups, with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), were calculated using the random-effects and fixed-effects models. A total of 16 papers and 4,361,141 participants were included in this study. When the random-effects model and the fixed-effects model were used, high birth weight was associated with an increased risk of neuroblastoma (OR = 1.17; 95% CI: 1.06-1.29, P = 0.002; heterogeneity: Chi
