Maternal pre-pregnancy underweight and the risk of small-for-gestational-age in Asian-American ethnic groups.
Article in Obstetrics & gynecology science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the association between maternal pre-pregnancy underweight and the risk of small-forgestational-age (SGA) birth among Asian Americans compared with non-Hispanic (NH) whites.
methodsUsing 2014-2018 birth data, we categorized maternal underweight and SGA according to severity. Bivariate analyses were performed to examine the demographics and maternal body mass index (BMI). Adjusted logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between maternal BMI and SGA among Asian Americans compared with NH-Whites.
resultsIn Asian Americans, the likelihood of SGA birth was higher among underweight mothers than among mothers with a normal BMI (odds ratio [OR], 1.37; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.30-1.46). We observed that as the severity of maternal underweight increased, the adjusted odds of SGA increased. Underweight Asian American mothers were more likely to give birth to SGA infants than underweight NH-White mothers (OR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.28-1.44).
conclusionThis study shows the association between maternal underweight and SGA birth among Asian Americans, supporting the development of culture-sensitive interventions addressing the impact of weight on pregnancy.
