Impact of an exercise intervention on physical activity during pregnancy: the behaviors affecting baby and you study.
Trial report in American journal of public health, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00728377 (An Exercise Intervention to Prevent Recurrent GDM), which is not on this map. Cited by 23 papers, 4 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

Abstract
objectivesWe examined the impact of a prenatal exercise intervention on physical activity in 260 women at risk for gestational diabetes mellitus.
methodsWe randomized participants in the Behaviors Affecting Baby and You (BABY) Study, which took place from 2007 to 2012, to either a 12-week individually tailored, motivationally matched exercise intervention (n=132) or to a comparison health and wellness intervention (n=128). We assessed physical activity with the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire. We used linear mixed models to evaluate the impact of the interventions on change in physical activity according to intensity and type, total walking, and sedentary behavior.
resultsCompared with the health and wellness arm, the exercise arm had significantly greater increases in sports or exercise activity (0.3 vs 5.3 metabolic equivalent of task [MET] hours/week; P<.001), and smaller declines in total activity (-42.7 vs -2.1 MET hours/week; P=.02) and activities of moderate to vigorous intensity (-30.6 vs -10.6 MET hours/week; P=.05), and was more likely to achieve recommended guidelines for physical activity (odds ratio=2.12; 95% confidence interval=1.45, 3.10).
conclusionsThese findings extend the previous literature by demonstrating the benefits of a clinically feasible exercise intervention in an ethnically and socio-economically diverse population. Given the increased risk of adverse maternal health outcomes in ethnic minority groups, these findings may have important implications for reducing health disparities.
