Lifestyle Intervention to Promote an Adequate Gestational Weight Gain and Improve Perinatal Outcomes in a Cohort of Obese Women.

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
objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the correlation of gestational weight gain (GWG) with pregnancy and perinatal outcomes in a cohort of obese women class I-III receiving standard care (SC) or lifestyle intervention (LI).
methodsThis is a prospective cohort study including singleton obese women (body mass index, BMI ≥ 30) who delivered between 2016 and 2020. Women exposed to a LI were referred to an obesity weight management ad hoc clinic. Women followed by family centers or private settings represented the SC group. The LI started between the 9 and 12th week, consisting of a low-calorie diet and physical activity program. Pregnancy and perinatal outcomes were prospectively collected. Women included in the SC group were followed, simply checking their pregnancy and health status, providing general recommendations on a healthy lifestyle in pregnancy. GWG was categorized as insufficient, adequate, or excessive according to the Institute of Medicine (IOM).
resultsA total of 1874 obese singleton women delivered in the study period. Among them, 565 (30.1%) were included in the LI while 1309 received SC. Women in SC showed a higher rate of GWG out of the IOM recommendations (excessive/insufficient), while women in the LI group showed higher adequate GWG. The small-for-gestational-age (SGA) rate resulted to be higher in the SC group. Once adjusting for age, BMI, country of origin, provider, and gestational hypertension, the risk for SGA was increased by insufficient GWG (OR = 1.25; 95%CI: 1.03-1.59), while it was reduced by LI (OR = 0.67, 95%CI: 0.42-0.98).
conclusionsIn a cohort of obese women, the exposure to an LI was associated with more adequate GWG, reduced insufficient weight gain, and a decreased risk of SGA infants.
