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

backgroundAdverse circumstances during pregnancy are associated with impaired health for children not only during pregnancy and childhood, but also in adulthood. This study evaluates the perspectives of parents and professionals regarding the importance of parents' health, parents' health-promoting behaviour, and psychosocial and lifestyle factors of parents during pregnancy on a child's long-term health outcomes.

methodsA cross-sectional survey study was conducted among parents with a child up to two years (n = 1854) and professionals (n = 322) in a large city in the Netherlands.

resultsMost parents and professionals agree that maternal health during pregnancy is important for a child's health during pregnancy (98%, 99%, respectively), childhood (94%, 97%, respectively), and adulthood (84%, 89%, respectively). Additionally, almost all parents and professionals agree that maternal health-promoting behaviour during preconception (90%, 96%, respectively), pregnancy (97%, 98%, respectively), and childhood (97%, 99%, respectively) is important for a child's health.

conclusionMost parents and professionals recognize the importance of parents' health and well-being, parents' health-promoting behaviour and psychosocial and lifestyle factors of parents during pregnancy for a child's health throughout the life course. To optimize public health, there is a need for effective knowledge translation to bridge between recognition and health-promoting behaviour.
