Supervised and Unsupervised Physical Activity Programs in Pregnancy-There Is a Benefit for Both.
Article in Journal of diabetes research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesRegular physical activity (PA) during pregnancy reduces the risk of cardiometabolic disease. The World Health Organization recommends a minimum of 150 min/week of moderate-intensity exercise for healthy pregnant women. However, these guidelines are not commonly met, and implications for pregnancy outcomes are not fully understood. This study is aimed at determining whether differences between a supervised and an independent training program affect gestational weight gain and birth outcomes.
methodsFour hundred and seventy-eight pregnancies in two countries were investigated with either a supervised or unsupervised exercise program during pregnancy to compare maternal characteristics, PA levels, and birth outcomes and determine predictors of infant morphometrics.
resultsMaternal participants had an average age of 31.7 years (±4.47) with a body mass index (BMI) of 25.07 (±5.18). Analysis of weight gain during pregnancy showed significant differences (p = 0.007), with a substantial increase in the supervised training program cohort (21.99 ± 36.34) compared to a moderate increase in the unsupervised cohort (14.22 ± 10.91). Women in the unsupervised group engaged in more intense and frequent physical activities. Weight gain during pregnancy had the most significant influence on birth weight. The most significant predictor of birth BMI was the intensity of maternal PA.
conclusionsSupervised sports programs are helpful but not necessary to influence pregnancy outcomes. The intensity of PA is the most important issue.
