Assessment of Systemic and Periodontal Conditions in Pregnant Women and Their Impact on Neonatal Birth Weight: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 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
The aim of this study was to assess some variables of women in the 27th week of pregnancy and after childbirth, in addition to determining which of these variables were associated with low birth weight during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The patients were divided into two groups: mothers with normal-weight babies (G1 = 60) and mothers with below-normal-weight babies (G2 = 16). The variables assessed were education, monthly family income, anthropometric parameters, systemic health, periodontal condition, oral hygiene habits, Oral Health Impact Profile-14 results, data from the babies at birth, and a COVID-19 diagnosis during pregnancy. The mothers in G1 showed greater weight gain during pregnancy. There was an increase in tooth plaque percentage, probing pocket depth, and clinical attachment level during the study period for both groups and an increase in periodontitis cases in the patients from G1. The mothers from G1 had longer pregnancy periods and delivered taller babies with a higher body mass index. A one-unit increase in weight during pregnancy decreases the likelihood of having a below-normal-weight baby by 11.3% [confidence interval = 2.4-20.4%]. Weight gain during pregnancy is a protective factor that decreases the likelihood of babies being born with below-normal weights.
