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

•Examines association between earthquake exposure and weight-change at age 40 years.•The associations were adjusted by prior life course covariates.•Exposure to an earthquake did not increase body mass index at six-years follow-up.•Exposure to an earthquake increased waist circumference at six-years follow-up.•A dose-response relationship was evident by severity of exposure for waist circumference.
