HealthyPregnancy: development and feasibility of a digital care guide to promote recommended gestational weight gain in pregnant women living with overweight in Denmark.
Article in BMJ open, 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
objectivesExcessive gestational weight gain increases the risk of complications in pregnancy, childbirth and later in life among pregnant women living with overweight and their offspring. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and examine the feasibility of a digital intervention supporting recommended gestational weight gain and the recommended level of physical activity, targeting pregnant women with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or above.
designIntervention development was guided by the Medical Research Council guideline on the development and evaluation of complex interventions, and subsequent feasibility testing was conducted in a non-randomised design.
settingThe obstetric department at Copenhagen University Hospital-North Zealand, Denmark.
participants98 pregnant women living with overweight participated in feasibility testing.
interventionsThe intervention developed in this study was a mobile phone application with a digital care guide containing text and video information supporting recommended gestational weight gain and physical activity levels. The video material featured multiple healthcare professionals and a pregnant woman from the target group.
main outcome measuresThe main feasibility measures were participant recruitment and engagement with the digital care guide throughout pregnancy.
resultsRecruitment rates were satisfactory, with 69% of eligible pregnant women consenting to participation. The participants used the application and engaged with the digital care guide; however, use of the care guide diminished as pregnancy progressed.
conclusionsWe developed a digital care guide supporting recommended gestational weight gain and physical activity levels for pregnant women with a BMI of 27 or higher. Feasibility testing indicated that there is sufficient interest in participating in a study promoting recommended weight gain and physical activity to warrant a larger effectiveness trial.
