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

A twin-based chart of birth weight was useful to avoid overdiagnosis of small for gestational age (SGA) or large for gestational age (LGA) in twins comparing to the singleton-based chart. Several twin-based charts of birth weight were reported based on large data from nationwide, multiple cities or local regions in China. However, these twin-based charts showed inconsistent ranges across gestational age (GA) and not well-consistent growth trajectories, and may require further integration. We aimed to develop a set of smoothed percentile growth curves of twin birth weight in Chinese neonates that allows for continuous use from extremely preterm to full-term. We collected twin birth weight data through a procedure of systematic review by searching PubMed, Scopus, Web of science, Chinese national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang from their inception to April 30, 2025. Finally, five studies that met the inclusion criteria were included in this present study. We used a two-stage proportionally weighted approach to generate initial integrated percentile data of twin birth weight, and then employed polynomial regression equation and the LMS method to establish the P
