Maternal Overnutrition in Pregnancy Predicts Greater Body Mass Index Gains in Offspring by Early Midlife: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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
Maternal overnutrition during pregnancy predisposes children to increased adiposity later in life. This systematic review and meta-analysis examined how this association persists into adulthood and whether it differs by sex. MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and CENTRAL were searched for human studies published in English before May 2025. From 9191 screened records, 29 studies (430,764 mother-offspring pairs) provided quantitative data on the link between maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (ppBMI) or gestational weight gain (GWG) and adiposity in adult offspring. The meta-analysis found significant positive associations between maternal ppBMI and offspring BMI, body fat percentage, or waist circumference. Each 1 kg/m
