A scoping review of adult NCD-relevant phenotypes measured in today's large child cohort studies.
Article in Pediatric research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundChild cohort studies are important resources that can inform strategies to prevent adult noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Technological advances now enable direct measurement of NCD-relevant phenotypes at large scale. Across contemporary large child cohorts, we aimed to provide the first comprehensive map of NCD-relevant phenotype measurement and gaps.
methodsWe included cohorts with >8000 child participants that were recruiting in whole or part after 2010 and measuring phenotypes relevant to ten high-burden NCDs. Our database and gray literature search identified 15 cohort studies for inclusion. Details on phenotype measurement (methods, age, location) are presented in an online, searchable inventory.
resultsAll 15 cohorts measure body size or composition. Most cohorts measure aspects of cardiovascular health (n = 10) and neurocognition (n = 9). Fewer measure musculoskeletal phenotypes (n = 6), pulmonary function (n = 6), vision (n = 6) and glucose (n = 4). Only two cohorts measure hearing or kidney function.
conclusionsToday's childhood cohorts are not measuring some phenotypes important to global burden of disease, notably kidney function and hearing. Given the rarity of very large contemporary child cohorts, cross-cohort coordination will be required if all major NCD precursors are to be adequately represented for future benefit. IMPACT: This scoping review provides a comprehensive overview of NCD-relevant phenotype measurement across large, modern child cohort studies. This review has identified measurement gaps in important areas that may obviate steps to prevent and detect NCDs with high global disease burden. Findings may inform planning of collaborative projects and future data collection to address measurement gaps for greatest future benefit.
