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

backgroundEarly life nutrition is associated with child behaviour; however, the interplay with genetic vulnerability is understudied. We hypothesised that psychiatric genetic risk interacted with early nutrition to predict behavioural problems in childhood and adolescence.

methodsThe Raine Study participants with genetic information aged 2-17 were repeatedly evaluated with the child behaviour checklist total problems score (CBCL

resultsIn 1393 participants, a borderline signal suggests that 1 month longer breastfeeding reduces CBCL

conclusionsNutrition in early life and psychiatric genetic risk may interact to determine lasting child behaviour. Contrary to our hypothesis, we find dietary benefits in individuals with lower ADHD PGS, necessitating replication. We also highlight the possibility of including genetics in early nutrition intervention trials for causal inference.
