Maternal BMI changes from the prepregnancy to postpartum period are associated with postpartum cardiometabolic risk factors: a longitudinal study.
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 3 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
purposeThis study aimed at investigating the associations between the total body mass index (BMI) change at 3 or 4 years postpartum compared to the prepregnancy and cardiometabolic risk factors.
methodsThis longitudinal study included 1305 participants. Based on the total postpartum BMI changes, they were divided into < 0 units, 0-1.7 units, and > 1.7 units groups using the interquartile range. Multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the associations.
resultsCompared to the reference group, there was a progressive increase in the βcoefficient (βcoef) of homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) of cardiometabolic risk in the following groups: the '0-1.7 units' group with the 'overweight traj' [βcoef 0.33; 95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.22, 0.44)] or the 'obesity traj' [0.66; (0.45, 0.88)] and the '> 1.7 units' group with the 'normal traj' [0.33; (0.22, 0.44)], the 'overweight traj' [0.54; (0.41, 0.67)] or the 'obesity traj' [0.97; (0.79, 1.15)]. The same increasing trend of βcoef was also found in DBP, FPG, LDL, WHR, BF%. However, the '< 0 units' group with the 'low traj' [0.13; (0.06, 0.21)] and the '0-1.7 units' group with the 'low traj' [0.08; (0.03, 0.13)] had higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level than the reference group.
conclusionWomen with a postpartum BMI gain > 1.7 units are positively associated with cardiometabolic risk factors, especially for those in the 'obesity traj' or 'traj D'. Conversely, women with a postpartum BMI loss > 0 units have negative association with cardiometabolic risk factors, especially for those in the 'low traj' or 'traj B'.
