Perception of weight status and its impact on gestational weight gain in an urban population.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
To examine the association between actual and perceived overweight/obese status and excess gestational weight gain (GWG). As part of an infant feeding trial, multi-ethnic lower and moderate income women-completed a checklist of current health conditions, including "overweight/obesity," "asthma," and "hypertension" while pregnant. Odds of excessive GWG per the Institute of Medicine guidelines in 'accurate' versus 'inaccurate' reporters, by overweight status were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression for women with pre-or early pregnancy BMIs of ≥18.5. 775 women met study criteria. Just 21 % (n = 107) of overweight/obese women accurately identified their weight status, compared to >90 % accurate report of documented hypertension or asthma. Compared to normal-weight accurate reporters, the adjusted odds of excessive GWG in overweight/obese women was 2.3 (95 % CI 1.4, 3.7) in accurate reporters, and 2.5 (95 % CI 1.7, 3.4) in inaccurate reporters. Overweight/obesity is associated with excessive GWG, but this risk is not modified by inaccurate reporting/perception of weight-status.
