Gestational weight change patterns in pregnant people with obesity class I, II, and III receiving care from community-based health care centers.
Article in Annals of epidemiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
purposeTo identify pregnancy weight patterns among people with obesity class I, II, and III, and how they lead to total gestational weight change (GWC) relative to Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendations.
methodsWe examined clinically measured pregnancy weights from 7196 individuals with pre-pregnancy obesity receiving care from a national network of community-based health care organizations (2004-2020). We conducted obesity class-stratified, group-based trajectory modeling, then characterized identified GWC patterns with respect to sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.
resultsGWC trajectories included two patterns exhibiting early weight loss that was later regained (n = 4113), two with consistent weight gain (n = 3026), and, among individuals with class III obesity, a fifth pattern (n = 57) exhibiting weight loss that was not regained by delivery. Trajectories that met the total GWC IOM recommendations exhibited 1st trimester weight loss followed by at/above-IOM recommended 2nd and 3rd trimester GWC. Trajectories with 1st trimester weight gain exceeded the total GWC recommendation. Public health insurance, tobacco use, and Black race were generally more common in trajectories with the highest rates of weight loss or gain.
conclusionsObesity class-specific GWC recommendations should address safe levels of 1st trimester weight loss and dissonance between recommended total GWC and 2nd and 3rd trimester gain rates.
