1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: To investigate the effects of a prenatal exercise intervention on offspring body weight, body mass index (BMI), and lifestyle variables at 7 years of age. Methods: Out of 105 physically inactive participants initially randomized to either a physical activity intervention or control group, 80 women and their children (76.2%) participated in this follow-up study. The intervention consisted of intensive physical activity counseling and supervised, group-based moderate-intensity exercise sessions during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, while the control group received standard prenatal care only. Data were collected via a standardized telephone interview with the mother and included the offspring's body weight and height, physical activity level, sports participation, and adherence to general health recommendations regarding screen time and diet. Differences between groups were examined using two-sided independent sample Results: Mean BMI was similar in both groups (intervention group: Conclusions: Our results suggest that the intervention may have positively influenced the BMI status and physical activity levels of the offspring.
