Physical activity pattern in early pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus risk among low-income women: A prospective cross-sectional study.

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
objectiveGestational diabetes mellitus is increasing worldwide, mainly in developing countries, and physical activity has not been studied in gestational diabetes mellitus prevention among low-income population. This prospective cross-sectional study assessed the gestational diabetes mellitus risk related to physical activity in early pregnancy among low-income women.
methodsA prospective cross-sectional study with 544 low-income pregnant women was conducted at the Instituto de Medicina Integral Prof. Fernando Figueira, Brazil. Gestational diabetes mellitus was diagnosed using the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups criteria. Physical activity was assessed during early pregnancy using the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire and categorized as sedentary, light, moderate, or vigorous intensity.
resultsGestational diabetes mellitus occurred in 95 of 544 women (17.4%). Body mass index was higher in the gestational diabetes mellitus group. Nearly half of all pregnant women studied were physically inactive, and none of them were classified as vigorous physical active. Sedentary physical activity pattern was associated with a higher odds of gestational diabetes mellitus (odds ratio = 1.8, 95% confidence interval = 1.1-2.9), which did not change after adjusting for several covariates (odds ratio = 1.9, 95% confidence interval = 1.2-3.1).
conclusionPhysical inactivity in early pregnancy is associated with a higher risk of gestational diabetes mellitus among low-income women.
