The Impact of Maternal Omega-3 Supplementation on Infant Anthropometric Measures and Pregnancy Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Health science reports, 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
Purpose: Maternal omega-3 intake during pregnancy may influence infants' anthropometric measurements and pregnancy outcomes. This study reviewed research articles investigating the effects of omega-3 supplementation during pregnancy on infants' anthropometric indices and pregnancy outcomes. Methods: A search for studies conducted up to March 2025 was carried out in Medline/PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. To assess the risk of bias in the studies, the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment tool for randomized trials was utilized. Outcomes were evaluated using odds ratios (OR) or standardized mean differences (SMD) along with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). The certainty of evidence was evaluated by GRADE. Results: This meta-analysis included a total of 23 studies involving (intervention group=12,341 and control group=12,294 women). The pooled analysis showed that Omega-3 supplementation was associated with a modest but statistically significant increase in gestational weight gain (SMD: 0.17; 95%CI 0.03-0.29, Conclusion: Omega-3 supplementation during pregnancy modestly improves maternal weight gain and infant birth size while reducing the risk of preterm birth, supporting its inclusion in maternal nutrition programs. These results reinforce the potential of omega-3 supplementation as a beneficial intervention to support maternal and neonatal health.
