Short-term neonatal outcomes of pregnancies complicated by maternal obesity.
Article in American journal of obstetrics & gynecology MFM, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundMaternal obesity complicates a high number of pregnancies. The degree to which neonatal outcomes are adversely affected is unclear.
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate neonatal outcomes of pregnancies complicated by maternal obesity. STUDY
designThis study was a secondary analysis of a cohort of deliveries occurring on randomly selected days at 25 hospitals from 2008 to 2011. Data were collected by certified abstractors. This analysis included singleton deliveries between 24 and 42 weeks of gestation. Body mass index was calculated on the basis of maternal height and most recent weight before delivery. Normal and overweight (reference group; body mass index, 18.5-29.9 kg/m
resultsOverall, 52,162 patients and their neonates were included after propensity score matching. Of these, 21,704 (41.6%) were obese, 3787 (7.3%) were morbidly obese, and 590 (1.1%) were super morbidly obese. A total of 2103 neonates (4.0%) had the composite outcome. Neonates born to pregnant people with morbid obesity had a 33% increased risk of composite neonatal morbidity compared with those in the reference group (adjusted odds ratio, 1.33; 95% confidence interval, 1.17-1.52), but no significant association was observed for persons with obesity (adjusted odds ratio, 1.05; 95% confidence interval, 0.97-1.14) or with super morbid obesity (adjusted odds ratio, 1.18; 95% confidence interval, 0.86-1.64).
conclusionCompared with the reference group, gravidas with morbid obesity were at higher risk of composite neonatal morbidity.
