Protein intake and insulin-like growth factor-1 at 12 months and associations with growth, body composition, and metabolic syndrome at 8 years.
Observational study in Journal of pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectivesMetabolic programming may occur during early life and have long-lasting effects on metabolic health. This study examined what impact early protein intake and levels of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) at 1 year of age had on growth, body composition and risk factors for metabolic syndrome at 8 years of age.
methodsThis was a prospective, observational, population-based study of 551 healthy, Swedish children. We used food diaries handed in at 1 year of age, and IGF-1 was measured at the same age. At 8 years of age, the children attended a clinical visit, where they underwent a dual X-ray absorptiometry scan, blood sampling, and anthropometry measurements.
resultsProtein intake at 1 year of age was associated with high waist circumference and insulin resistance measured as homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance, at 8 years of age.
conclusionsProtein intake at 1 year of age may have an impact on later metabolic health, mainly in form of insulin resistance and waist circumference.
