Effects of maternal lifestyle intervention during pregnancy on untreated partner weight: Results from fit for delivery study.
Trial report in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo test the hypothesis that untreated partners of pregnant women receiving a prenatal lifestyle intervention (vs. standard care) would lose more weight during pregnancy and postpartum.
methodsFit for Delivery was a study of 401 pregnant women with overweight/obesity (OW/OB) and normal weight (NW) randomized to prenatal lifestyle intervention or standard care. Mother's self-report of partners' weight was obtained at study entry (<16 weeks gestation), 30 weeks gestation, and 6 and 12 months postpartum.
resultsAt study entry, 157 of 200 (78%) of intervention mothers and 144 of 201 (72%) of standard care mothers reported having a partner. In intent-to-treat analyses, there was no significant treatment × time effects on partner weight (P = 0.67). In secondary analyses, partners of OW/OB intervention women lost weight from study entry to 6 and 12 months postpartum (-0.5 ± 9.5 kg, -1.0 ± 9.3 kg; P < 0.05), while partners of standard care women gained weight during the same time frame (+2.5 ± 6.7 kg, +2.9 ± 7.4 kg; P < 0.05); adjusting for partner study entry BMI removed these effects.
conclusionsLifestyle intervention delivered to pregnant women did not significantly reduce weight of untreated partners. Future research is needed to test prenatal interventions that engage partners and use objective measures of weight.
