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
backgroundExcessive gestational weight gain (eGWG) and high body mass index during pregnancy can adversely affect maternal and child health in both the short and long term. Lifestyle interventions, including improved nutrition and increased physical activity, play a critical role in reducing eGWG and improving health outcomes. However, common barriers such as lack of awareness and misinformation, hinder the achievement of a healthy pregnancy. This study investigates the impact of counseling through a motivational interviewing (MI) approach on promoting healthful lifestyles to prevent eGWG in pregnant women. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis randomized controlled trial will involve pregnant women under 14 weeks of gestation, referred to Rouhani and Yahyanezhad hospitals. The eligible women will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group ( EXPECTED
resultsWe expect that counseling with a motivational interviewing approach will have a positive effect on improving a health-promoting lifestyle and preventing excessive weight gain in pregnant women. DISCUSSION: The findings are expected to demonstrate the effectiveness of MI in fostering health-promoting lifestyles, potentially reducing eGWG and improving pregnancy outcomes. This study may offer a valuable intervention for enhancing maternal health.
