Gestational weight gain in the REVAMP pregnancy cohort in Western India: Comparison with international and national references.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objective: To determine the trimester specific gestational weight gain (GWG) in a population of pregnant women from Western India and compare it with the Intergrowth-21st international and an Indian reference (GARBH-Ini cohort-Group for Advanced Research on BirtH outcomes). Study design: A prospective longitudinal observational study was undertaken in Pune, West India and data for gestational weight gain was collected [the REVAMP study (Research Exploring Various Aspects and Mechanisms in Preeclampsia)]. Generalized Additive Models for Location, Scale and Shape method (GAMLSS model) were used to create GWG centile curves according to gestational age, stratified by BMI at recruitment ( Results: The median GWG was 1.68, 5.80, 7.06, and 11.56 kg at gestational ages 18, 26, 30, and 40 weeks, respectively. In our study, pregnant women gained less weight throughout pregnancy compared to Intergrowth-21st study, but more weight compared to the GARBH-Ini cohort centile curves in all the BMI categories. GWG in overweight/obese women (BMI ≥ 25) was significantly lower (<0.001) as compared to underweight (BMI < 18.5), or normal weight women (BMI ≥ 18.5 and <25). The median GWG at 40 weeks in underweight, normal and overweight/obese women was 13.18, 11.74, and 10.48 kg, respectively. Higher maternal BMI, older maternal age, higher parity and higher hemoglobin concentrations were associated with lower GWG, while taller maternal height was associated with greater GWG. Conclusion: GWG of Indian women is lower than the prescriptive standards of the Intergrowth charts.
