Maternal Obesity: An Obstetric Risk.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo analyze the obstetric risks and to evaluate the effects of maternal obesity during pregnancy and postpartum period.
methodThis is a retrospective study of pregnant women with a BMI of more the 30 conducted at Bahrain Defence Force Hospital, West Riffa, Bahrain, from September 2019 to August 2020. Data includes demographic characteristics, and course of pregnancy from gestational age 24 weeks, through intrapartum to the postpartum period. Adverse maternal effects and delivery complications were the primary study outcomes. The BMI was calculated at the time of the booking visit. Comparative analysis was done to calculate the odds of each outcome taking a non-obese group (BMI less than 30) as a reference. Results: The total number of pregnant women studied was 2972, out of which 1657 had BMI ≥30. In our study, women with high BMI were older (p<0.0001). High BMI was associated with high parity and higher miscarriage history. High BMI increased the risk of developing hypertension (OR 2.5; 95%CI 1.1-5.3). This analysis also found that high BMI was associated with increased risk of antepartum hemorrhage (OR 2.4; 95%CI 1-5.4), postpartum complications (OR1.6; 95%CI 1.1-2.2), and a hospital stay of more than five days (OR 1.6; 95%CI 1.3-2). High BMI patients were less likely to have Intrauterine growth restriction (OR 0.6; 95%CI 0.3-0.9). High BMI patients did not have an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus, induction of labor, or caesarean birth.
conclusionHigher BMI pregnant women are associated with higher incidences of hypertension. The high BMI group also had a significant relationship with antepartum hemorrhage and postpartum length of stay.
