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

Objectives: This study aimed to examine trends in relative and absolute social inequality in overweight/obesity among Danish infants born between 2002 and 2022. Methods: The study applied yearly cross-sectional data on infants' weight and length at age 6-10 months, n = 63,100. Data was linked with parental education from population registers. Social inequality was measured by OR, relative index of inequality (RII), and slope index of inequality (SII). Trend tests measured changes over time. Results: No difference in odds for overweight/obesity by parental education was observed between 2002 and 2004, but from 2005 social inequality in overweight/obesity was revealed. The OR for overweight/obesity ranged from 1.20 (95% CI: 0.76-1.89) to 2.31 (95% CI: 1.64-3.25) for infants of parents with lowest educational attainment. RII ranged from 0.78 to 0.41 (test for trend, p = 0.179) and SII ranged from -0.92 to -4.54 (test for trend, p = 0.026) indicating a persistent relative social inequality and an increase in absolute social inequality in overweight/obesity from 2002 to 2022, respectively. Conclusion: The study revealed persistent relative social inequality and increased absolute social inequality in overweight/obesity among Danish infants from 2002 to 2022.
