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

Growing evidence supports a positive association between childhood obesity and chronic diseases in later life. It is also suggested that childhood obesity is more prevalent for children born from pregnancies complicated by metabolic disorders such as gestational diabetes, and can be related to maternal dietary factors during gestation. Extending conventional analyses that report only the marginal associations within non-causal mediation frameworks, we present mediation analysis in the case of multiple exposures and multiple mediators using a regularized two-stage approach. By placing shrinkage priors on each parameter relating to direct and indirect effects, a parsimonious model can be obtained, and consequently, the most relevant pathways will be selected to inform the development of efficient prevention programs. We apply this method to data from the Danish site of the Diabetes & Women's Health Study, Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC), and find 6 significant maternal risk factors either directly or indirectly affecting childhood body mass index
