Protocol for a randomised controlled trial of a weight maintenance intervention to promote fat loss in pregnant individuals with obesity.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
introductionIn pregnancy, people with obesity or excess adiposity are prone to excess gestational weight gain (GWG) and have the highest risks for multiple maternal morbidities. Epidemiological studies suggest that the lowest incidence of adverse maternal and infant outcomes occurs with GWG lower than current recommendations (<5 kg) and with gestational weight maintenance, resulting in fat mass loss, in those with obesity. Data from randomised clinical trials are needed to evaluate the efficacy of a fat mass loss intervention on pregnancy outcomes. The objective of this proof-of-principle randomised controlled trial is to test the effect of a gestational fat mass loss intervention in pregnant individuals with obesity on changes in weight, fat mass and cardiometabolic disease risk factors. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: In this two-site randomised parallel group, 100 women (30% black; 30% Hispanic) with pre-existing obesity (31.0≤body mass index≤55.0 kg/m ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The trial has been approved by the Pennington Biomedical Research Center Institutional Review Board, is monitored by an independent data and safety monitoring board and will be conducted in agreement with the Declaration of Helsinki. All results, positive, negative and inconclusive, will be disseminated at national and/or international scientific meetings and in peer-reviewed scientific journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04731688.
