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

Maternal circulating fatty acids are closely linked to fetal development. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between the maternal fatty acid levels at 11-14 weeks of gestation and fetal growth trajectories phenotype. A total of 655 pregnant women were selected from the Complex Lipids in Mothers and Babies cohort. Twenty fatty acids in maternal serum at 11-14 weeks of gestation were quantified by GC-MS. The trajectories of fetal head circumference (HC), biparietal diameter (BPD), abdominal circumference (AC), and femur length (FL) z-score at 11-14, 22-28, and 32-34 weeks of gestation were determined by group-based multi-trajectory modeling (GBMTM). Multinomial logistic regression and quantile-based g-computation (Qgcomp) were used to investigate the relationship between individual and mixed fatty acid exposures and the fetal growth trajectories. GBMTM identified four trajectory groups of fetal ultrasound measurements: stable falling, stable increasing, high stable increasing, and dramatically falling. The incidence of premature rupture of membranes, placental implantation, large-for-gestational-age (LGA) and macrosomia differed significantly between the four trajectory groups (p-values of 0.044, 0.008, < 0.001, and < 0.001, respectively). Higher maternal serum linoleic acid (LA, C18:2 n-6) and α-linolenic acid (ALA, C18:3 n-3) were associated with increased odds in the stable falling (OR = 1.004; 95% CI: 1.001, 1.008) and dramatically falling trajectory groups (OR = 1.042; 95% CI: 1.001, 1.085). Meanwhile, eicosadienoic acid (EDA, C20:2 n-6) was associated with decreased odds in the stable falling trajectory group (OR = 0.845;95% CI: 0.716, 0.998). Fetal growth trajectory classification based on GBMTM reveals associations between different trajectory groups and adverse pregnancy outcomes. In addition, serum fatty acids LA, ALA and EDA at 11-14 weeks of gestation were associated with the fetal growth trajectories phenotype.
