Physical activity and epigenetic biomarkers in maternal blood during pregnancy.
Article in Epigenomics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04563065 (Active Pregnancy, Prevention Against the Effects of COVID-19), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 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.

Abstract
aimInvestigate associations of leisure time physical activity (LTPA) with DNA methylation and miRNAs during pregnancy. Patients & methods: LTPA, candidate DNA methylation and circulating miRNAs were measured (average 15 weeks gestation) in pregnant women (n = 92).
resultsEach additional hour of prepregnancy LTPA duration was associated with hypermethylation in C1orf212 (β = 0.137, 95% CI: 0.004-0.270) and higher circulating miR-146b-5p (β = 0.084, 95% CI: 0.017-0.151). Each additional metabolic equivalent hour of early-pregnancy LTPA energy expenditure was associated with higher circulating miR-21-3p (β = 0.431, 95% CI: 0.089-0.772) in women carrying female offspring, and lower circulating miR-146b-5p (β = -0.285, 95% CI: -0.528 to -0.043) and miR-517-5p (β = -0.406, 95% CI: -0.736 to -0.076) in women carrying male offspring.
conclusionOur findings suggest that LTPA may influence maternal epigenetic biomarkers, possibly in an offspring sex-specific manner.
