Maternal obesity: Perinatal implications.
Review in SAGE open medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Over the previous three decades, the prevalence and growth of overweight and obese status has risen relentlessly in both the general population and pregnant women. This rise is seen in both higher pre-pregnancy body mass index measurements along with excessive weight gain during pregnancy. Maternal obesity has been shown to exacerbate co-morbidities such as insulin resistance, pregnancy induced hypertension, and infectious states in parturient mothers. These changes have been shown to subsequently increase rates of fetal anomalies and affect fetal growth, as well as various aspects of the delivery such as rates of instrumented vaginal deliveries and an increase in delivery by cesarean section. Maternal obesity increases fetal birth weight, influences the delivery room resuscitation of the neonate by increasing the need for respiratory support, and increases the risk of neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. This review also looks at recent studies revealing the strong association between maternal and offspring obesity and other long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of offspring.
