Unhealthy Eating Behaviors During Pregnancy and Gestational Weight Gain - Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province, China, 2020-2021.
Article in China CDC weekly, 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
What is already known about this topic?: Maintaining a healthy diet and appropriate weight during pregnancy is crucial for both the expectant mother and the fetus. Unhealthy eating behaviors (UEBs) such as eating out frequently are becoming increasingly prevalent across the globe. However, there is a dearth of research investigating the relationship between UEBs and gestational weight gain (GWG) specifically in the context of Chinese women. What is added by this report?: The study revealed that a majority of pregnant women reported experiencing one or more UEBs such as eating fast, eating three meals irregularly, eating away from home, and skipping breakfast. A positive association was also observed between the number of UEBs and elevated odds of experiencing excessive GWG. What are the implications for public health practice?: The uptake of emerging UEBs is prevalent among pregnant women in China. It is recommended that healthy eating behavior become the focal point of gestational weight management in clinical practice. Moreover, preconception care should take into account customized health education and promotion programs.
