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

introductionRegular physical activity during pregnancy is effective in preventing diseases and promoting the health outcomes of mothers and babies. However, the level of physical activity among them is not ideal. Especially in China, the proportion of pregnant women who meet the recommendation of physical activity in the guidelines is even lower. Thus, we aim to evaluate the prevalence of meeting physical activity recommendation and its influencing factors during pregnancy in China. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This protocol is developed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols guidelines. PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Science and Technology Journal Database (Weipu) and WanFang Data will be comprehensively searched by two reviewers. Studies that report the prevalence of Chinese pregnant women meeting physical activity recommendation will be included. Two reviewers will independently assess eligibility, extract data and evaluate methodological quality. Data including authors, publication years, language, geographical region, tools, trimesters, prevalence and influence factors will be extracted. Data will be analysed by Stata V.11 statistical software. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: No formal ethics approval is required for this protocol and no primary data are to be collected. Findings from this review may be useful to develop interventions for the physical activity of pregnant women in China. The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals, conference presentations and public events. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42022372722.
