1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Gestational air pollution exposure was associated with childhood obesity. However, little is known about the effect of air pollution exposure during the preconception period, a critical window when environmental exposures may affect body growth trajectory and increase obesity risk. We conducted a population-based prospective cohort study of preconception women and their newborn children followed until 2 years old from metropolitan Shanghai, China to investigate the impact of preconception air pollution on childhood weight and body mass index (BMI) growth trajectories.
