Clinical Significance of Pregnancies with Macrosomia (Birth Weight ≥ 4,000 g) Compared with Deliveries with Neonatal Birth Weight of 3,500-3,999 g.
Article in JMA journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: We examined the clinical characteristics and perinatal outcomes of pregnancy with macrosomia (birth weight ≥ 4,000 g) compared with delivery with neonatal birth weight of 3,500-3,999 g. Methods: This study analyzed data obtained from singleton pregnant women who delivered at ≥22 weeks of gestation from January 2002 to December 2010. Results: During the study period, there were 12,497 singleton deliveries, of which 136 (1.1%) had macrosomia (average: 4,181 g, range: 4,000-4,726 g; macrosomia group) and 1,139 (9.1%) had neonatal birth weight of 3,500-3,999 g (average: 3,670 g; control group). Compared with the control group, the macrosomia group had advanced maternal age and births after 41 weeks of gestation. In addition, elective cesarean delivery was more common in the macrosomia group ( Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that particular attention should be paid to the possibility of shoulder dystocia during delivery of macrosomia.
