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.

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.

Abstract

Objective: Weight management during the first few years postpartum is considered important for the prevention of future metabolic disturbances. Body fat percentage measured using air displacement plethysmography is an accurate marker of body adiposity. In this secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial, the aims were to identify distinctive body fat percentage trajectories up to 2 years postpartum in women with overweight and to investigate whether fish oil and/or probiotic supplements, diet, gestational diabetes, or gestational weight gain influenced the body composition. Methods: Women with overweight or obesity ( Results: Three postpartum body fat percentage trajectories were identified, but none displayed a sustained decrease in adiposity. A healthy dietary pattern (adjusted OR 5.8 [95% CI 2.5-13.5], Conclusion: Good overall dietary quality during pregnancy may benefit the body composition of women with overweight or obesity at postpartum. Trial Registration: NCT01922791, ClinicalTrials.gov.
