Height and weight reference charts for Brazilians with intellectual disabilities aged 7-17.
Article in Jornal de pediatria. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveIt was to develop smoothed height and weight percentiles for boys and girls with IDs between 7 and 17 years old.
methodsThe sample consisted of 1,047 young people (645 boys and 402 girls; 7-17 years old) with ID. A total of 4,059 measurements (height: n = 2,041; weight: n = 2,018) were retrospectively obtained from the period between 2013 and 2018. Smoothed height and weight percentiles were developed using the LMS method. Local and global diagnosis of percentiles were evaluated with Q statistics and detrended Q-Q plots.
resultsPercentiles (5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 90, and 95) for height-to-age and weight-to-age were developed with satisfactory modeling in boys and girls between 7 and 17 years old. Boys showed a linear trend in height up to 11 or 12 years old, an increment from 13 to 15 years old and a deceleration from 15 or 16 years old. For the girls, height was linear between the ages of 7 and 11, followed by a deceleration from the age of 12 and without substantial changes from the ages of 15 to 17. Regarding weight, girls showed a linear trend of weight gain until the age of 13 and deceleration at the age of 14 or 15. Boys, however, showed a linear tendency to gain weight from 7 to 17 years old.
conclusionThe height and weight percentiles developed in this study can help monitor the growth of young people with ID.
