Temporal trends in birthweight and its association with overweight/obesity in schoolchildren from a Brazilian city: a cross-sectional panel study (2002-2019).

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.
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
backgroundLong-term metabolic complications in childhood are associated with birthweight.
objectivesThis study aimed to examine trends in the prevalence of low and high birthweight over a 16-year period and to investigate the association between birthweight and overweight/obesity among schoolchildren aged 7 to 10 years. DESIGN AND
settingThe analyses included four school-based cross-sectional surveys conducted in Florianópolis.
methodsThe probabilistic panels were conducted in 2002, 2007, 2012-2013, and 2018-2019. Multiple logistic regression models were used to assess the associations between low and high birthweight and childhood overweight/obesity. Adjusted models included biological, socioeconomic, survey-period, and dietary-intake variables.
resultsOver the 16-year period, low birthweight showed a progressive and statistically significant increase, rising by 58.3% from 2002 to 2018-2019. In contrast, the prevalence of high birthweight was 9.1% in 2002 and declined significantly over the ten-year period from 2002 to 2012-2013, decreasing by 40.7%. In the adjusted model, high birthweight was significantly associated with overweight/obesity across all study waves (OR = 1.63; 95% CI = 1.32-2).
conclusionA statistically significant upward trend in the prevalence of low birthweight was observed among schoolchildren in Florianópolis from 2002 to 2018-2019. Despite a reduction in high birthweight over time, high birthweight remained directly associated with overweight/obesity, independently of food intake and other confounding factors.
