Influence of a Sedentary Behavior Intervention on Mood, Sleep, and Quality of Life Outcomes During Pregnancy: The SPRING Study.
Article in Women's health reports (New Rochelle, N.Y.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Psychological symptoms and sleep disturbance are common during pregnancy. Observational data suggest that being physically active during pregnancy is related to better mood and sleep, but whether sedentary behavior reduction interventions provide similar benefits is untested. We aimed to determine whether reducing sedentary behavior across pregnancy improved psychological and sleep parameters. Methods: Pregnant participants ( Results: Despite significant reductions in sedentary behavior (-0.84 hour/day), the intervention had no effect on psychological health outcomes. Further, intervention participants demonstrated significant worsening of sleep efficiency factor scores compared with control ( Conclusions: Reducing sedentary behavior during pregnancy did not improve psychological symptoms and may worsen sleep efficiency. Recommendations for future sedentary behavior reduction research in pregnancy include a larger sample with poorer psychological health and sleep at baseline, targeting reductions in mentally passive sedentary behavior, and including device-based sleep assessments.
