Physical activity and dietary behaviors associated with weight gain and impaired glucose tolerance among pregnant Latinas.
Review in Advances in nutrition (Bethesda, Md.), 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
15 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 40 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
Pregnancy has been proposed as a critical period for the development of subsequent maternal overweight and/or obesity. Excessive gestational weight gain is, in turn, associated with maternal complications such as cesarean delivery, hypertension, preeclampsia, impaired glucose tolerance, and gestational diabetes mellitus. Although there is substantial evidence that targeting at-risk groups for type 2 diabetes prevention is effective if lifestyle changes are made, relatively little attention has been paid to the prevention of excessive gestational weight gain and impaired glucose tolerance during pregnancy. Latinos are the largest minority group in the United States, with the highest birth and immigration rates of any minority group and are disproportionately affected by overweight and obesity. However, due to cultural factors, socioeconomic factors, and language barriers, Latinos have had limited access to public health interventions that promote healthy lifestyles. Therefore, the objective of this article is to review the scientific evidence regarding the association between physical activity, dietary behaviors, and gestational weight gain and impaired glucose tolerance among Latinas. A second objective is to discuss how lifestyle interventions including weight management through diet and exercise could be successful in reducing the risk of excessive gestational weight gain and gestational diabetes mellitus. Finally, recommendations are provided for future lifestyle intervention programs in this population with a focus on translation and dissemination of research findings.
