Impact of prenatal and postnatal nutrition on pain modulation and stress response in offspring.
Review in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. 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
Nutrition is an environmental risk factor playing a pivotal role in predisposing to various diseases. Especially prenatal nutrition induces adaptation processes, known as early programming, leading to the alteration of fetal growth and brain development. Our previous study focused on the relation between prenatal nutritional factors and neurodevelopmental disorders. This narrative review analyses instead how prenatal and postnatal nutrition may impact many other pathways, for example, pain modulation and stress response. The alteration of these pathways is mediated by modification of the activity of the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis, dysregulation of the gut-brain axis, and epigenetic changes induced by food. Diet and alterations in levels of macronutrients or micronutrients can alter the gene expression both in the uterus and early stage of life, increasing the susceptibility to many pathologies, related to metabolic alteration, but also cognitive impairment. Moreover, maternal diet can influence brain excitability and neuropeptides, and the release of neurotransmitters. We searched keywords such as "prenatal nutrition and pain modulation" on PubMed and Google Scholar, selecting the main reviews and excluding individual cases. Unfortunately, few data investigated this topic, so future perspectives may include more studies regarding the pathophysiology of these alterations, in order to understand how to improve and promote offspring's health, through maternal and early nutrition.
