Early milk cereal drink consumption correlated with rapid weight gain but not with subsequent adiposity.

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
aimThe role of infant nutrition in rapid weight gain (RWG) is not well understood. This study investigated associations between milk cereal drinks, early RWG, and later body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR).
methodsIn total, 1333 children, from three communities in Western Sweden constituted the combined IDEFICS-I. Family cohort. Data were obtained retrospectively from the National Medical Birth Register, child health centres and school health services. Anthropometric data and parental reported food habits were collected in the 2007-2008 IDEFICS baseline survey. Follow-up data for 656 children were collected in the 2013-2014 I. Family survey. Linear and logistic regressions were used.
resultsAt baseline, 820 (62%) of the 658 boys and 675 girls, median age 6.0 years, interquartile range 4.0-7.5 years, consumed milk cereal drinks and 229 (18%) had early RWG. Milk cereal drinks were associated with early RWG without effects on later BMI or WHtR status 6 years later. Early RWG was predictive of higher anthropometric measures later in childhood, particularly abdominal adiposity.
conclusionDespite early-life correlations between RWG and milk cereal drinks, this study could not demonstrate a long-term detrimental association between milk cereal drinks and BMI or WHtR.
