Socioeconomic and clinical factors associated with excessive gestational weight gain.
Article in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2024. 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
purposeExcessive gestational weight gain (EGWG) is associated with adverse maternal and offspring outcomes but efforts to identify women at high risk for EGWG have been limited. The objective of this study is to identify socioeconomic and clinical factors associated with EGWG.
methodsThis retrospective cohort included pregnant patients who delivered live, term, singleton newborns between January 2018 and February 2020 at seven hospitals within a large health system in New York. Patients were stratified by pre-pregnancy body mass index and then classified based on whether they exceeded the Institute of Medicine guidelines for gestational weight gain (GWG) and whether they gained more than 50 pounds in pregnancy.
resultsA total of 44,872 subjects were included for analysis: 48% had EGWG and 17% had GWG exceeding 50 pounds. Patients with EGWG were more likely to be Black race, English speakers, overweight or obese pre-pregnancy, and have a mood disorder diagnosis. Patients who were underweight, multiparous, and those with gestational diabetes were less likely to have EGWG.
conclusionSociodemographic and clinical findings associated with GWG > 50 pounds were similar but only overweight and not obese patients were at increased risk. Patients at risk for EGWG may benefit from early nutrition counseling and education on lifestyle changes.
