1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The incidence of obesity in women of reproductive age has significantly increased over the past 100 years. There is a well-established connection between maternal obesity during pregnancy and an increased risk of developing non-communicable cardiometabolic diseases in her offspring. This mini-review focuses on evidence examining the effect of maternal high-fat diet (HFD) on skeletal development and bone health in later life in offspring. The majority of rodent studies indicate that maternal HFD generally negatively affects both embryonic bone development and bone volume in adult animals. Details surrounding the mechanisms of action that drive changes in the skeleton in offspring remain unclear, although numerous studies suggest that some effects are sex-specific. Human studies in this area are limited but also suggest that HFD during pregnancy may impair bone formation and increase fracture risk during childhood. Given the consequences of low bone mass and deranged bone microarchitecture for offspring, advances in our understanding of the developmental origins of bone health is critical in the battle against osteoporosis.
