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

backgroundBody weight in childhood may predict appetitive traits. However, studies on the accumulated effect of adiposity and approaches using the clustering of different appetitive traits are lacking.

objectiveTo test associations between a cumulative measure of adiposity [from 4 to 13 years old (y)] and appetitive trait trajectory profiles (from 7 to 13 y), as well as to explore whether body mass index (BMI) at specific ages is associated with these profiles, independently of the cumulative BMI.

methodsParticipants are from the Generation XXI birth cohort (Porto, Portugal) with weight and height measured at 4, 7, 10 and 13 y and complete data in variables of interest (final sample of n = 3339). Age- and sex-specific adjusted BMI standard deviation scores were calculated. The duration and degree of BMI were summarized through the BMI area under the curve (BMI

resultsThe median monthly exposure to BMI

conclusionChildren with the highest cumulative adiposity between 4 and 13 y were more likely to present an 'avid appetite' during childhood. Additionally, having excessive weight at age 7 may indicate a higher appetite in subsequent years.
