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

This study aims to examine the relationship between high birth weight (HBW) and blood pressure and assess whether HBW leads to increased hypertension during childhood and adolescence. All the participants aged 6-18 years with HBW were selected from a cross-sectional study from seven provinces in China. Nine thousand nine hundred and sixty-two children were randomly sampled with matched data. Basic information of students was collected with a standardized student and guardian questionnaire. High blood pressure was defined according to sex-, age- and height-specific references. Multi-variance logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) of high blood pressure and HBW after adjustment for confounding factors. The overall mean of systolic BP and diastolic BP in HBW group were significantly higher than normal group in both genders and urban/rural area. Corresponding overall prevalence of high BP, elevated SBP and elevated DBP in HBW group were also higher than normal group in both genders, respectively (boys: 19.41% vs 16.16%; 10.12% vs 8.16%; 14.86% vs 12.71%; girls: 14.95% vs 12.66%; 8.19% vs 6.56%; 11.13% vs 9.86%). In addition, birth weight was positively associated with high BP, elevated SBP and elevated DBP in children and adolescents of both sexes (boys: OR 1.25, 1.27, 1.20; girls: OR 1.21, 1.27, 1.15). However, the positive association was attenuated and even reversed after adjustment for potential confounding variables. In this study, HBW may lead to higher childhood blood pressure, but no association between HBW and childhood hypertension was observed.
