Gestational Weight Gain Through a Health Literacy Lens: A Scoping Review.
Article in The Journal of perinatal education, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 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
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
Few women gain the recommended amount of weight during pregnancy, which has health implications for mothers and their newborns. Work in this area focuses on factors that are difficult to change. The purpose of this project was to review literature on a more patient-centered concept-health literacy. A scoping review was conducted to determine whether aspects of health literacy are included in gestational weight gain (GWG) research. Thirty articles were selected for review. Although these studies included health literacy aspects indirectly, only 2 directly measured health literacy using existing measures. Work that incorporates health literacy in a GWG context is needed. Health literacy may be a critical, yet understudied, factor in understanding why GWG falls outside of the recommendations.
