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

Children in urban and eastern regions tend to be taller and have higher body mass index (BMI) compared to those in rural and central-western regions, partially due to better family resources. We examined urban‒rural areas, regional differences in growth trajectories, focusing on family influences. Longitudinal data on 8542 children from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (1991-2015) were used. Random effects models assessed the mean height/BMI growth trajectories across different regions, urban-rural areas, and sexes within cohorts born in 1980-1989, 1990-1999, and 2000-2009. In the 1980-1989 cohort, before adjusting for family dietary structure, children from eastern regions were on average 3.3 cm taller than those from central-western regions at age 6. After adjustment, the height difference decreased to 2.44 cm. In the 2000-2009 cohort, the urban-rural BMI difference at age 6 was initially 0.53 kg/m
