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

introductionObesity is one of the greatest health problems in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined obesity as a disease in which the excess of adipose tissue accumulates in such a degree that is endangers health. Obesity is a very complex multifactor disease that is developed under the influence of genetic and metabolic factors, environment, social and cultural environment as well as bad habits. The causes of obesity can be numerous. The most common source of obesity is the development of energetic imbalance. MATERIAL AND

methodsA retrospective study of medical records in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Clinical Hospital in Mostar was conducted. It included 1300 pregnant women and their children that were delivered in the time period from January 1

resultsThe difference in age of pregnant women with different body mass index was not statistically relevant. The average age of pregnant women with normal body mass was 29.52 ± 5.48, overweight pregnant women 30.30 ± 5.138, and obese pregnant women 30.00 ± 5.103 (F = 2.730; p = 0.066). The youngest was 24, and the oldest was 49 years old. The average gestational age at delivery was 39.23 ± 1.556 (min 28; max. 42 weeks of gestation). The majority of pregnant women; 660 of them (50.8 %), were overweight in the early stages of their pregnancy, there were 322 (24.8 %) obese women, and there were 318 (24.5 %) normal weight women. At the end of the pregnancy, the highest number was that of obese pregnant women 925 (71.2 %), while 328 (25.2 %) pregnant women were overweight, and only 47 (3.6 %) pregnant women had normal weight.

conclusionNutritive status and weight gain of a mother during pregnancy are an important indication of her health and of the foetus growth. Overweightness and obesity of a mother before pregnancy and during pregnancy has a negative influence on the health of the mother and infant. Moreover, it is linked with risk and a negative pregnancy outcome. BMI was associated with an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcome.
