Demographic, Pregnancy-Related, and Health-Related Factors in Association with Changes in Sleep Among Pregnant Women with Overweight or Obesity.

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
backgroundWomen with prepregnancy overweight/obesity are at high risk for obstetric complications and cardiometabolic disease. Poorer sleep quality is associated with obesity in non-pregnant individuals and, during pregnancy, poor sleep predicts negative obstetric and health outcomes. This study examined sleep patterns among women with overweight/obesity and factors associated with different sleep trajectories during pregnancy.
methodsWomen (N = 146, 17-40 years old) with a prepregnancy body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m
resultsOn average, women's PSQI scores were 6.66 ± 3.58 in the first half of pregnancy and were significantly higher (worse) at the end of pregnancy (t(644) = 4.55, p < 0.001), with the greatest change occurring in the third trimester (t(636.3) = 3.72, p < 0.001). Women who currently smoked had poorer sleep than women who did not currently smoke (t(1) = 2.29, p = 0.02). Prepregnancy weight status, age, parity, race, education, and income were not significantly associated with sleep changes (t(1) < 1.76, ps > 0.08). The percentage of women with PSQI scores > 5 (the threshold for poor sleep quality) was 37-63% across assessments, with the greatest increase occurring during the third trimester (t(633) = 2.92, p = 0.004).
conclusionsSleep quality worsens during the third trimester and is associated with current smoking. Future studies of sleep during pregnancy should examine health outcomes among women with overweight/obesity and early intervention to mitigate sleep disturbances as pregnancy progresses.
