Longitudinal study of multidimensional factors influencing maternal and offspring health outcomes: a study protocol.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundReducing preventable adverse maternal and offspring outcomes is a global priority. The causes of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes are complex with multidimensional influencing factors. In addition, the Covid-19 epidemic has had a significant psychological and physical impact on people. China is now stepping into the post-epidemic era. We are curious about the psychological and physical situation of maternity in China at this stage. Therefore, we plan to initiate a prospective longitudinal study to investigate the multidimensional influences and mechanisms that affect maternal and offspring health.
methodWe will recruit eligible pregnant women at Renmin Hospital of Hubei Province, China. The expected sample size is 1490. We will assess socio-demographics, Covid-19 related information, social capital, sleep, mental health and medical records, including clinical examination and biochemical tests. Eligible pregnant women will be enrolled in the study with less than 14 weeks of gestation. Participants will receive a total of nine follow-up visits between mid-pregnancy and one year postpartum. The offspring will be followed up at birth, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and one year. In addition, a qualitative study will be conducted to understand the underlying causes that affect maternal and offspring health outcomes. DISCUSSION: This is the first longitudinal study of maternity in Wuhan, Hubei Province which integrates physical, psychological and social capital dimensions. Wuhan is the first city to be affected by Covid-19 in China. As China moves into the post-epidemic era, this study will provide us with a better understanding of the long-term impact of the epidemic on maternal and offspring health outcomes. We will implement a range of rigorous measures to enhance participants' retention rate and ensure the quality of data. The study will provide empirical results for maternal health in the post-epidemic era.
