Vitamin C in Pregnancy: A Key Modulator of Fetal Growth and Epigenetic Stability.
Review in Current nutrition reports, 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
purpose of reviewAdequate vitamin C intake during pregnancy is crucial to support adequate growth and development of the fetus. Vitamin C, besides its involvement in numerous biological functions, is notable for its regulatory impact on gene expression. RECENT
findingsResearch shows that not getting enough vitamin C during pregnancy may be linked to adverse effects, such as shorter telomeres, problems with DNA methylation, higher rates of cell death in the placenta, and lower birth weight. Moreover, vitamin C offers genetic safeguarding against detrimental environmental influences and facilitates the maturation of the fetal immune system. Its involvement in epigenetic regulation contributes to managing processes, including germ cell development, neurodevelopment, and fertility. We emphasize that long-term health effects require sufficient vitamin C consumption during pregnancy. This review assesses the influence of maternal vitamin C intake on fetal growth and development based on existing literature.
