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

objectiveTo examine whether offspring born to mothers with overweight/obesity, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) or both exhibit different body mass index (BMI) trajectories from birth to 6 years old.

designRetrospective cohort study.

settingThe Glucose in Relation to Women and Babies' Health (GrownB) Study at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Medical Center. POPULATION OR SAMPLE: Twenty thousand four hundred fifty six mother-offspring pairs.

methodsMothers were classified as normal-weight & non-GDM (NWN), normal-weight & GDM (NWG), overweight/obesity & non-GDM (OWN) or overweight/obesity & GDM (OWG). Offspring BMI trajectories were estimated using linear mixed-effects models in two age periods (0-24 months and 2-6 years), adjusting for confounding.

main outcome measuresWe extracted offspring's birth weight, recumbent length (age < 2 years) or standing height (age ≥ 2 years), and weight data from routine clinical encounters and physical examinations from the UCLA electronic health records.

resultsOffspring of mothers with overweight/obesity had higher BMI trajectories than those of normal-weight mothers across both 0-24 months (BMI mean differences overall 0-24 months: 0.28 [0.17, 0.39] kg/m

conclusionsMaternal pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity was associated with higher offspring BMI trajectories from birth to age of 6 years, while the association was not observed for GDM.
