Identifying research priorities for gestational weight gain in India: A national exercise.
Article in The Indian journal of medical research, 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
Background and objectives Gestational weight gain is an important indicator of maternal and neonatal health, yet research on this topic in the Indian context remains limited. We conducted a research-setting exercise to identify priority research questions related to gestational weight gain in the Indian context, aiming to guide researchers and policymakers. Methods We used a hybrid approach combining Child Health and Nutrition research Initiative (CHNRI) and a modified James Lind Alliance- Priority Setting Partnership (JLA-PSP). The four CHNRI steps produced an interim priority list, which was refined through the modified JLA-PSP to finalise the priorities Result Sixty researchers participated in the online survey, yielding 54 questions (response rate:30%). These were consolidated into 12 questions across three domains- (a) development of standards and guidelines, (b) Epidemiology and determinants and (c) Evaluation of interventions and strategies for gestational weight gain. We calculated research priority scores, and average expert agreement. The expert group determined four priority questions, emphasising gestational weight gain cut-offs related to short- and long-term feto-maternal outcomes, determinants of gestational weight gain, and effective interventions. Interpretation and conclusion These priorities provide a roadmap for researchers and funders for targeted research in the area of gestational weight gain to improve maternal and child health outcomes in India.
