A Pilot Evaluation of the Adequacy of Prenatal Vitamins to Cover Dietary Deficits During Pregnancy and Lactation.
Article in Reproductive, female and child 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
Objectives: The objectives of this pilot survey were (1) to compare dietary intakes during three survey windows (25-28 weeks gestation, 28-32 weeks gestation and ≥ 3 months postpartum) with the National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements' (NIH:ODS) established recommendations for pregnant and lactating women, and (2) to evaluate the general adequacy of commonly used prenatal vitamins (PVs) to cover the identified deficits in dietary intake. Methods: In this longitudinal pilot survey, 39 healthy consented women, aged 18-50 years with singleton pregnancies and pre-pregnancy BMI < 30.0 kg/m Results: Nutrients that were ≥ 30% higher than the recommended RDA/AI were carbohydrates, sodium, vitamin A, and vitamin C in the first survey window; carbohydrates, sodium, and vitamin A in the second survey window; and sodium and iron in the third survey window. Nutrients that were ≥ 30% Conclusion: Women who are or are planning to become pregnant should be educated on dietary recommendations during pregnancy and lactation, ideally such that supplements become unnecessary. However, it remains good practice to carefully consider prenatal vitamin content before selection.
