Applying behavior change techniques to weight management during pregnancy: Impact on perinatal outcomes.
Article in Preventive medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Unhealthy behaviors and lifestyle choices are contributing to the obesity epidemic and associated morbidities. Among reproductive aged women, obesity adversely affects perinatal outcomes and longer term maternal and child health. Interventions utilizing strategies of behavior change have the potential to improve outcomes, especially during pregnancy. Antenatal interventions to improve adherence to gestational weight gain guidelines are one such example. Although behaviorally-based intervention trials have been associated with modest decreases in gestational weight gain, the effect on short term perinatal outcomes has thus far been minimal. This commentary aims to discuss possible reasons behind the failure to improve perinatal outcomes as well as to encourage future areas of study.
