Associations of Sociodemographic Factors With Clusters of Obesity-Risk Behaviours Among Pregnant Women in Australia.
Article in The Australian & New Zealand journal of obstetrics & gynaecology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMaternal obesity-risk behaviours during pregnancy have a direct impact on the weight trajectory of their children. Targeting these behaviours may help improve birth outcomes and child health. This study aimed to identify sociodemographic factors associated with unhealthy dietary behaviours and insufficient physical activity in pregnant women. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe undertook a cross-sectional secondary analysis using data from the Communicating Healthy Beginnings Advice by Telephone (CHAT) trial conducted in NSW, Australia in 2017-2019. Multiple logistic regression models were built to determine associations.
resultsA total of 1155 pregnant mothers attended antenatal clinics from 28 to 34 weeks gestation. Younger age (< 30 years, adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 2.01, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.53-2.64) and paternal unemployment (AOR1.86, 95% CI1.44-2.39) were associated with a cluster of unhealthy dietary behaviours. Excessive intake of discretionary foods (processed meat, fast food, potato crisps) was associated with: younger age (AOR1.62, 95% CI 1.24-2.11), being Australian-born (AOR1.55, 95% CI 1.20-2.01), paternal unemployment (AOR1.57, 95% CI 1.01-2.43) and lower paternal education level (AOR1.77, 95% 1.37-2.28). Insufficient physical activity behaviours were associated with maternal employment (AOR1.55, 95% CI 1.21-1.98) and those with tertiary-level education (AOR1.39, 95% CI 1.08-1.79).
conclusionsMothers aged under 30 years and those born in Australia were more likely to have a cluster of obesity-risk behaviours. Maternal and paternal employment status, and education level were also associated with such clusters.
