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.

Abstract

backgroundWorld Health Organization (WHO) growth standards, including weight-for-length, are used to monitor infant size. Excessive infant weight-for-length at or above the 85th percentile is a risk for childhood overweight. Although antenatal interventions like the nutrition and exercise lifestyle intervention program (NELIP) have successfully prevented excessive gestational weight gain, strategies to improve the intervention remain of interest. This study investigated the impact of adding a family-based behavioral treatment (FBBT) to NELIP on infant weight-for-length at birth based on WHO growth standards and gestational weight gain.

methodsParticipants were recruited for the NELIP group (n = 68), followed by the NELIP + FBBT group (n = 48). In addition to full analyses, a subgroup of NELIP (n = 48) was matched to NELIP + FBBT based on pre-pregnancy BMI, parity and age.

resultsThe number of infants with excessive weight-for-length at birth was significantly different between the NELIP + FBBT and the full NELIP group when maternal pre-pregnancy BMI was considered (φ

conclusionsThe inclusion of a FBBT improved the effectiveness of a NELIP by decreasing the prevalence of excessive infant weight-for-length at birth, especially in participants with pre-pregnancy obesity, which could have implications on future childhood overweight and obesity.
