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

objectiveTo examine aerobic physical activity (PA) among non-Hispanic Black pregnant women.

designLongitudinal prospective cohort study. SAMPLE: A subset of 161 non-Hispanic Black pregnant women from the Midwestern US participating in a larger study completed questionnaires about aerobic physical activity (PA) before pregnancy (reported at 24.46±2.13 weeks gestation), mid-pregnancy (24.46±2.13 weeks gestation), and late pregnancy (31.78±1.95 weeks gestation). MEASUREMENTS: Aerobic PA was measured using the Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA).

resultsMost participants reported being active prior to pregnancy (n = 101, 63%), with 60 (37%) underactive/sedentary. Aerobic RAPA scores were highest pre-pregnancy (3.29±1.11, median = 4, interquartile range [IQR] = 1) compared with mid-pregnancy (3.05±1.26, median = 4, IQR = 2) and late pregnancy (3.05±1.24, median = 4, IQR = 2). Pre-pregnancy scores were significantly higher than mid-pregnancy scores (Wilcoxon test = 1472, p = .008) and late pregnancy scores (Wilcoxon test = 1854, p = .01).

conclusionMost Black pregnant participants reported high levels of aerobic PA both before pregnancy and during pregnancy. However, many were underactive or sedentary. Aerobic PA decreased during pregnancy compared with pre-pregnancy, without the drop in third trimester PA found in other populations. Providers should assess PA across pregnancy and promote adequate PA for maternal and infant health, particularly among Black women.
