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

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a Health Belief Model (HBM)-based electronic education program combined with individualized supervised exercise in improving exercise adherence and pregnancy outcomes among women with gestational hypertension. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted from June 2024 to February 2025 at a tertiary hospital in Shenzhen, China. A total of 142 pregnant women diagnosed with gestational hypertension were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group. The experimental group received routine antenatal care plus a 6-week HBM-based e-education intervention delivered via a mobile application and short messaging service (SMS) reminders, complemented by individualized in-person exercise guidance. The control group received routine antenatal care only. After the 6-week intervention, outcomes were assessed using the 6-min walk test, a disease knowledge and attitudes questionnaire, and the Pregnancy Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale. Primary outcomes included exercise adherence, blood pressure control, incidence of preeclampsia, and other pregnancy-related outcomes. Results: A total of 129 participants completed the study (the intervention group [ Conclusion: By embedding video-based education, real-time monitoring, and personalized support into routine prenatal care, this intervention facilitated positive behavioral changes in physical activity among pregnant women. The approach offers a scalable model for clinical nurses to delivering tailored remote exercise support for women with other pregnancy-related complications.
