Origins of obesity in the womb: Fetal adiposity and its determinants.
Review in The journal of obstetrics and gynaecology research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Birth weight is an important predictor of perinatal complications and long-term health outcomes of offspring. Fetal programming influenced by maternal obesity, overnutrition, and hyperglycemia has been proposed as the fuel overload hypothesis. Recent investigations related with fetal body composition have revealed that neonatal adiposity can be predicted by fetal fat mass, and that maternal insulin resistance and serum leptin level are indicators of fetal adiposity. Based on the current evidence, the origins of obesity can partly be traced back into the fetal life. Further clarification of the determinants of fetal fat mass may lead to the clinical interventions and treatment strategies for fetal growth and development. This effort potentially leads to the elucidation of pathological conditions related with long-term health outcomes and the primary prevention of childhood obesity and early onset metabolic syndrome.
