Effects of Obesity on Pregnancy and Fetomaternal Outcome.
Article in Cureus, 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
introductionA growing public health risk linked to unfavorable pregnancy outcomes is maternal obesity. With an emphasis on the incidence and seriousness of difficulties in pregnancies complicated by obesity, this study aims to assess the impact of obesity on the health of both the mother and the fetus. METHODOLOGY: 178 pregnant women with a BMI of 30 kg/m² participated in this 12-month prospective comparative cohort research at the Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar. Group A (BMI 30-34.9 kg/m²; n = 96, 53.9%) and Group B (BMI ≥35 kg/m²; n = 82, 46.1%) were the two groups into which the participants were split. Maternal outcomes (gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, cesarean delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, and wound infection) and fetal outcomes (birth weight, macrosomia, Apgar score, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, and stillbirth) were documented according to Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) guidelines. Chi-square and independent t-tests were used in the statistical analysis, which was conducted using SPSS version 26.0. A p-value of less than 0.05 was deemed statistically significant.
resultsGroup B had significantly higher rates of gestational hypertension 26 (31.7%) vs. 18 (18.8%), preeclampsia 18 (21.9%) vs. 10 (10.4%), cesarean section 51 (62.2%) vs. 39 (40.6%), and wound infection 11 (13.4%) vs. 4 (4.2%) compared to Group A (
conclusionHigher degrees of maternal obesity are strongly associated with increased maternal and neonatal complications. Early identification and specialized prenatal care for obese women are essential to minimize risks and improve outcomes.
