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

objectivesTo identify trajectories of Indonesian children and adolescent's BMI-z scores between 1993 and 2014, examine whether the pattern differs by sex and assess associations with host, agent and environmental factors.

designLongitudinal data were from the Indonesian Family Life Survey with up to five measurements of height and weight. Group-based trajectory models investigated changes in BMI-z score across time; differences by sex were investigated using random effect (mixed) models. The association between the trajectories and host, agent and environmental factors were examined using multinomial logistic regression.

settingThirteen provinces in Indonesia.

participantsIndonesian children and adolescents aged 6-18 years (

resultsMean BMI-z score increased from -0·743 sd in 1993 to -0·414 sd in 2014. Four distinct trajectory groups were estimated with mean BMI-z increasing more rapidly in the most recent time periods. One group (11·7 % of participants) had a mean BMI-z entirely within the moderately underweight range; two had trajectories in the normal range and one (5·6 %) had a mean BMI-z starting in the overweight range but within the obesity range by 2014. There were differences in trajectory groups by sex (

conclusionsThese trajectories highlight the double burden of malnutrition and suggest that the prevalence of overweight and obesity is likely to increase substantially unless public health interventions are implemented.
