Physical Activity Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Among Pregnant Women Attending Maternal Health Care Service in Eastern Ethiopia.
Article in SAGE open nursing. 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
Background: Physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of several adverse obstetric outcomes, including preterm birth, gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia, anxiety, and depression. However, the majority of women do not achieve recommended levels of physical activity in either time or intensity. It was less known among pregnant women in Ethiopia. This study assesses the knowledge, attitude, and practice of physical activity among pregnant women attending antenatal care in Harari regional state, eastern Ethiopia from December 15, 2023 to January 15, 2024. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 435 participants. A random sampling method was deployed to select study participants. A pretested and structured questionnaire was used to collect the data through a face-to-face interview. Data were entered into EpiData version 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software. Binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with physical activity practice. Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% confidence interval was used to report the association, and statistical significance was declared at p-value < 0.05. Results: The findings indicate that 50.1% (95% CI: 45.5-54.9%) of pregnant women were practice physical activity. Women attending health centers (AOR = 2.81, 95% CI: 1.85-4.26), aged 25-34 years (AOR = 1.94, 95% CI: 1.25-3.02), urban residence (AOR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.17-2.91), and women with good perceived benefits (AOR = 4.78, 95% CI: 3.12-7.31) were significantly associated with physical activity. Conclusion: The findings reveal that half of the study participants practice physical activity. Attending health centers, the age of women, residence, and positive perception of the benefit of physical activity were significantly associated with physical activity. Nurse practitioners should educate women about the benefits of regular physical activity and help them overcome the barriers to achieving recommended physical activity levels to improve perinatal outcomes.
