Body mass index trajectories from birth to early adulthood and lung function development.
Article in The European respiratory journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
backgroundFew studies have investigated the influence of body mass index (BMI) trajectories on lung function covering the entire growth period.
methodsWe conducted a prospective study using data from the Swedish BAMSE birth cohort. Latent class mixture modelling was employed to examine the diversity in BMI z-scores from birth to 24 years of age. Participants with four or more BMI z-scores were included (n=3204, 78.4%). Pre-bronchodilator spirometry was tested at 8, 16 and 24 years, while post-bronchodilator spirometry, multiple-breath nitrogen washout (for lung clearance index) and urinary metabolomics data were assessed at 24 years.
resultsSix distinct BMI development groups were identified. Compared to the stable normal BMI group, the accelerated increasing BMI group exhibited reduced pre- and post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV
conclusionsEarly interventions aiming for normal BMI during childhood may contribute to improved lung health later in life.
