Sequential Introduction of Exercise First Followed by Nutrition Improves Program Adherence During Pregnancy: a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in International journal of behavioral medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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

Abstract
backgroundAdhering to nutrition and exercise recommendations simultaneously during pregnancy may be challenging. The purpose was to examine adherence to the sequential introduction of nutrition and exercise behaviors during pregnancy in comparison with a simultaneous approach.
methodA randomized controlled trial including nutrition and exercise was executed. Using a stratified body mass index (BMI) randomization, participants (n = 88) were allocated to one of three groups at 12-18 weeks gestation. Group A received nutrition and exercise simultaneously. Group B received nutrition first and Group C received exercise first, and the second behavior was added at 25 weeks gestation for both groups. The program included weekly weighing, supervised walking sessions, and/or nutrition counseling. Adherence (primary outcome) was measured by scoring women on meeting the intervention goals (3 nutrition and 3 exercise goals) and converted to a percentage. Secondary health outcomes were gestational weight gain (GWG) and excessive GWG on the program, birthweight, macrosomia (birthweight > 4000 g), and low birthweight (birthweight < 2500 g).
resultsGroup C (n = 23) had the highest adherence to the program (80.2 ± 14.7%) compared with Groups A (n = 17; 60.9 ± 17.9%) and B (n = 20; 66.8 ± 16.7%; p < 0.05, η
conclusionIntroducing exercise first followed by nutrition at 25 weeks gestation can improve adherence to multiple behavior change programs and thus have a positive effect on health outcomes.
