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

backgroundFew studies have examined infant appetitive traits in minority populations or among mothers with obesity.

aimTo test associations of appetitive traits with nutritional exposures and growth in African-American children up to age 24m. SUBJECTS AND

methodsMothers with pre-pregnancy BMI <25 or ≥30 and their infants were included (

resultsOnly the BEBQ construct "food responsiveness" met internal consistency criteria (Cronbach's alpha = 0.85). "General appetite" and single items serving as proxies for "slowness in eating," "enjoyment of food" and "satiety responsiveness" associated with growth outcomes. Food responsiveness was higher for mixed vs. formula-fed infants (

conclusionsInfant appetitive traits prospectively associate with relative weight and adiposity at 24m and aspects of the postnatal nutritional environment independent of maternal BMI.
