Influence of Prenatal Aerobic Exercise on Fetal Morphometry.
Trial report in Maternal and child health journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine the effects of supervised prenatal aerobic exercise on fetal morphometrics at 36 weeks of gestation.
methodsThis study used data from a, 24-week, two-arm randomized controlled trial: aerobic exercise (EX) and stretching/breathing comparison group (CON). Singleton pregnancies (< 16 weeks pregnant) and women aged 18 to 40 years, BMI between 18.5 and 34.99 kg/m
resultsOf the 128 pregnant women randomized, 83 (EX [n = 46] and CON [n = 37]) were eligible for analyses. Intention-to-treat analysis showed no differences in EFW (rho
conclusionsFor Practice Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise during pregnancy was not associated with select fetal morphometrics at 36 weeks gestation. Potential differences in offspring morphometrics may only appear in the postnatal period, as previously documented. Further research into offspring tissue composition after birth is encouraged, specifically studies investigating differences in cellular signaling pathways related to adipose and skeletal muscle tissue development.
