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

The prevalence of low-birth-weight infants has increased over the past 40 years to approximately 9-10% of Japanese live births. This study aims to identify healthy lifestyle behaviors and psychosocial factors contributing to appropriate perinatal outcomes, gestational weight gain, and postpartum weight change. The Japan Pregnancy, Eating, Activity, and Cohort study was initiated in 2020 in Tokyo, Yamagata/Miyagi, Osaka, and Fukuoka. Participants will be enrolled at approximately 12 weeks of gestation, with follow-up at 18-27 and 35-41 weeks of gestation and 1, 6, and 12 months postpartum. Approximately 3000 participants are targeted: Yamagata/Miyagi (n = 300), Tokyo (n = 1500), Osaka (n = 800), and Fukuoka (n = 400). Participants will complete questionnaires on healthy lifestyle behaviors (dietary intake, physical activity, and circadian rhythm), psychosocial factors, weight control, and behavioral intentions. Medical records will be reviewed for antenatal checkup data. The primary outcomes will include gestational weight gain, infant birth weight, perinatal complications, breastfeeding, and postpartum weight change. Demographic and psychosocial factors and lifestyle behaviors will be examined as covariates and potential confounders. Biological samples will be collected in Tokyo and Yamagata. The study's findings will inform efforts to improve perinatal care guidelines through evidence-based recommendations.
