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

Introduction: Environmental exposures are known to affect the health and well-being of populations throughout the life course. Children are particularly susceptible to environmental impacts on educational and health outcomes as they spend more time in their local environments compared to adults. In England, no national, longitudinal dataset linking information about the physical and social environment in and around homes and schools to children's health and education outcomes currently exists. This limits our understanding of how environments might impact the health and well-being of children as they grow up. Objective: To establish the Kids' Environment and Health Cohort, a research-ready, de-identified and annually updated national birth cohort of all children born in England from 2006 onwards. Methods: The Kids' Environment and Health Cohort will link birth and mortality records, health and educational attainment datasets, to maternal health (up to 12 months prior to their child's birth), and environmental data for all children born in England from 2006 - approximately 11 million children at first build. A subset of children born between 2010 and 2012, and between 2020 and 2022 will be linked to their mothers' 2011 or 2021 Census records, respectively. The cohort database will be held in, and accessed via, a trusted research environment (TRE) at the Office for National Statistics (ONS). All geographical identifiers in the cohort, allowing for linkage to further environmental data, will be securely held by the ONS, separately to the main cohort, and will be encrypted before being shared with researchers. Conclusion: The Kids' Environment and Health Cohort will, for the first time, link administrative health and education data to longitudinal environmental exposures for children at national level in England. It will serve as a data resource to support research about the health and well-being of children via improved home and school environments.
