Impact of maternal body mass index above 30 kg/m
Observational study in Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica, 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
introductionOur objective was to evaluate the association of early-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with maternal, delivery, and child outcomes, and compare with pregnancies without diabetes in southeastern Sweden, including after a surge of non-European immigration. MATERIAL AND
methodsA retrospective population-based observational study of all 401 singleton pregnancies with GDM in the Kronoberg and southern Kalmar regions, 2013-2018, and 377 pregnancies without diabetes, matched by date of delivery. Data were collected by chart review. Women with early-pregnancy BMI <30 kg/m
resultsObese women with GDM had lower mean GWG (9.2 ± 6.8 vs. 11.7 ± 6.1 kg); fewer reached ≥8 kg (54% vs. 75%), more had preeclampsia (13% vs. 2.6%), and infants weighed 200 g less than those of nonobese women with GDM all p < 0.001 and those of obese women without GDM (11.2 ± 5.8 kg, p < 0.001; 68%, p = 0.05, 3.1%, p = 0.03). APGAR
conclusionsWomen with GDM and obesity, especially in combination, had a greater risk for preeclampsia, CS, and delivering LGA infants; their lower GWG and high APGAR
