Maternal Obesity and Pregnancy Outcome: in Perspective of New Asian Indian Guidelines.

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
backgroundPrevalence of obesity among women of reproductive age is increasing worldwide. As the prevalence increases among the women of reproductive age group, so it does among pregnant females. This study was conducted with the aim to assess obesity-related adverse maternal, neonatal and perinatal outcomes using new Asian Indian guidelines. METHODOLOGY: Pregnant women up to 16-week gestation on first visit were enrolled. There were two exposure groups: one with BMI < 25 kg/m
resultsThere was a significant increase in risk among obese mothers compared to non-obese mothers for maternal complications like hypertensive disorders of pregnancy{OR 3.83}, preeclampsia{OR 9.2}, gestational diabetes mellitus{OR 4.85} and insulin requirement{OR 12.46}, induction of labour{OR 2.71}, caesarean section post induction{OR 8.50}, prolonged labour{OR 4.69}, caesarean sections{OR 5.18} and postpartum haemorrhage{OR 2.21}. Also, there was a significant increase in risk among obese mothers compared to non-obese mothers for foetal and perinatal complications like miscarriages{OR 4.85}, preterm newborns{OR 4.63}, medically indicated preterm{OR 6.59}, shoulder dystocia{OR could not be calculated}, large for gestational age{OR 5.91}, hyperbilirubinaemia {OR 4.26} and neonatal intensive care unit admissions{OR 3.26}.
conclusionIt was concluded that obesity defined by Asian Indian guidelines (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m
