Heavy moms, wheezy kids: how maternal obesity harms breathing in offspring.
Review in American journal of respiratory cell and molecular biology, 2026. 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
Offspring asthma has emerged as a significant yet underexplored consequence of maternal obesity. This review synthesizes evidence from human and animal studies linking maternal obesity to increased asthma risk in offspring. We examine potential mechanisms, including impaired fetal lung development, epigenetic modifications, microbiome alterations, and metabolic dysregulation. A dedicated section focuses on the novel role of insulin signaling in the developmental programming of airway hyperresponsiveness, as insulin resistance-and the resulting hyperinsulinemia-is common in offspring of obese mothers. By integrating current findings and identifying key research gaps, this review outlines future directions to advance understanding and mitigation of maternal obesity's impact on offspring respiratory health.
