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

We compared the BMI-for-age (BMI/A) trajectory of Brazilian adolescents monitored in the primary health care (PHC) setting based on a simulated scenario. We used a real-life cohort of adolescents monitored by the Food and Nutrition Surveillance System (Sisvan) between 2008 and 2018. The LMS method was employed to estimate the simulated BMI/A evolution curve, assuming that the adolescents maintained the conditions observed during their first assessment (simulation curve). This curve was compared with that of the real-world cohort (Sisvan curve). Both curves were compared to the World Health Organization (WHO) reference cutoff. The difference in the BMI/A trajectory between the two curves was evaluated using linear mixed-effects models. When the participants started adolescence, their BMI/A was above the reference range. The Sisvan curve revealed that girls had a BMI/A that was higher than the simulated value at age 19 (p < 0.001) and that exceeded the WHO reference cutoff value; this finding was particularly pronounced in the southern region (Sisvan: 23.89 kg/m
