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
objectivesGuided by the social-ecological model, this study aimed to explore the patterns and associated factors of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) among pregnant women.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in Guangzhou, China, from October 2024 to January 2025. Five hundred and fifty-eight pregnant women were recruited through convenience sampling. They completed the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire, Pregnancy Discomforts Questionnaire, Pregnancy Physical Activity Self-Efficacy Scale, Pregnancy Physical Activity Social Support Scale, and Physical Activity Neighborhood Environment Scale. Multinomial logistic regression was used to investigate the factors associated with PA and SB patterns.
resultsFour PA and SB lifestyle patterns were identified in this study, including low PA/high SB (n = 165, 29.57 %), high PA/high SB (n = 161, 28.85 %), low PA/low SB (n = 115, 20.61 %), and high PA/low SB (n = 117, 20.97 %). Compared with the healthy pattern of high PA/low SB, low PA/high SB was associated with employment (OR = 3.64), being primipara (OR = 1.85), screen time (OR = 1.44), and self-efficacy (OR = 0.93); high PA/high SB was associated with employment (OR = 4.97) and screen time (OR = 1.42); low PA/low SB correlated with sleep time (OR = 1.33), self-efficacy (OR = 0.95), and social support (OR = 0.98).
conclusionsThis study revealed a high prevalence of risky PA and SB lifestyle patterns among Chinese pregnant women. Healthcare providers could implement interventions focused on reducing screen time, avoiding excessive sleep, and enhancing self-efficacy at the individual level, while strengthening social support at the social level, to help pregnant women adopt a healthy lifestyle pattern characterized by high PA/low SB.
