1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To assess impacts of pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain (GWG) on pregnancy complications and outcomes. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 2488 pregnant women from Zhuzhou Central Hospital (2022). Participants were categorized by pre-pregnancy BMI (underweight, normal, overweight, obese) and GWG (insufficient, appropriate, excessive). Multivariate logistic regression evaluated associations with outcomes, adjusting for confounders. Results: Significant differences existed across BMI groups for age, parity, gestational diabetes (GDM), gestational hypertension (GHT), preterm birth, birth weight, cord entanglement, and delivery mode (all p<0.05). GWG significantly associated with age, parity, GDM, GHT, preterm birth, birth weight, and delivery mode (all p<0.05). After adjustment: Conclusion: Pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG significantly influence pregnancy complications and neonatal outcomes. Proper weight management may improve outcomes.
