Exploring the Effect of Nutrition on Fetal Development in Pregnant Patients With Inflammatory Gut Diseases: A Scoping Review.
Review in Cureus, 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
Inflammatory gut diseases (IGDs) are increasing in prevalence and pose unique challenges during pregnancy. Poorly controlled IGDs in pregnant women are linked to adverse fetal outcomes such as low birth weight, preterm birth, and impaired gut microbiome development. Nutritional deficiencies, particularly in magnesium, folate, and vitamin B12, exacerbate these risks due to both inadequate intake and malabsorption. This scoping review aimed to evaluate the role of nutrition in fetal development among pregnant women with IGDs, highlighting dietary strategies that may enhance maternal gastrointestinal health and optimize fetal outcomes. This study was designed as a scoping review to examine the relationship between IGDs, pregnancy, and nutrition. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping review (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, a search was conducted for peer-reviewed literature using the databases Embase, Web of Science, Ovid MEDLINE, and CINAHL. The search was restricted to studies published in English within the last ten years and that focused on pregnant or postpartum patients and fetuses in the context of nutrition and IGDs. The search strategy used predefined terms in multiple combinations with Boolean operators: "inflammatory bowel disease", "pregnancy", "fetus development", "nutritional deficiency", "diet restriction", and "vitamin supplementation". The search identified 1,589 records, of which 728 remained after duplicate removal. Following title and abstract screening, 103 full-text reports were sought for retrieval, 98 were assessed for eligibility, and five studies met the final inclusion criteria. The included studies suggest that multidisciplinary antenatal care, maintenance of disease remission, and attention to maternal nutritional status may support favorable maternal and neonatal outcomes. However, the available evidence is limited, consists primarily of observational studies, and no included study directly evaluated nutritional interventions and fetal outcomes. Research on fetal outcomes remains limited and warrants future investigations exploring long-term fetal outcomes, the impact of maternal nutritional deficiencies, and dietary interventions to improve treatment protocols. Advancements in this research can ultimately improve maternal and neonatal outcomes in IGD-affected pregnancies.
