Physical activity during pregnancy and pregnancy related complication.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Even though motherhood is a positive and enjoyable experience, it is also a vulnerable period that can be accompanied by various complications. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus are the most significant contributors to these complications. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to assess if the degree of physical activity during pregnancy has an impact on the development of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus. In this cross-sectional study, 150 women were involved. Among the total study participants, 65(43.3%) and 85(56.7%) of them were engaged in vigorous physical activities and light physical activities during pregnancy, respectively. Of these study participants, 62 (41.3%) of them had pregnancy-related complications. It was found that women who engaged in vigorous physical activity had a lower proportion of complications (17.74%) compared to those who engaged in light physical activity (82.26%). This difference was statistically significant (p = 0.001). The finding of this study showed that pregnancy-related complications, specifically HDP and GDM, were low in women who had vigorous physical activities during pregnancy as compared to those who had a sedentary lifestyle or engaged in light physical activities.
