Motor Vehicle Driving During Pregnancy Does Not Influence Uterine Contractions.
Article in Obstetrics and gynecology international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: No studies have effectively clarified the relationship between uterine contractions and the act of acceleration or driving behaviors in pregnant women. Aims: To confirm the effect of driving a motor vehicle on physiological changes in pregnant women, we examined uterine contractions while driving. Materials and Methods: Seventeen pregnant women with a gestational age of 30-35 weeks were enrolled in this study. Uterine contractions were monitored remotely using a mobile delivery monitoring device. Triaxial acceleration of the vehicle, vehicle velocity, and vehicle kinematics were monitored using a driving recorder. Results: The average number of uterine contractions per 30 min in all participants was 1.0 (range, 0.26-2.0). When comparing the median vehicle velocity during a uterine contraction with that when there were no contractions, no significant difference was found (23 km/hour vs. 31 km/hour, Conclusions: Driving a motor vehicle should be considered a normal activity of daily life in pregnant women and seems unlikely to predispose to preterm birth.
