Preconception Weight Loss to Prevent Childhood Obesity: Current Evidence and Research Gaps.
Review in Current obesity reports, 2026. 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
purpose of reviewThe goal of this narrative review is to summarize the evidence regarding the impact of preconception weight loss and preconception weight loss interventions on child obesity, describe ongoing challenges surrounding preconception weight loss intervention research, and discuss future directions. RECENT
findingsData are sparse regarding the impact of preconception weight loss and preconception interventions on offspring outcomes beyond birth. There is insufficient evidence to determine the impact of preconception weight loss interventions on childhood obesity. Future research should include long-term observational studies and multi-center randomized trials during the preconception period among participants from diverse geographic and cultural backgrounds. Studies should be of sufficient sample size and duration to fully assess the impact of preconception interventions on childhood obesity and other important measures of child health. Ongoing challenges include those related to identification and recruitment of people prior to pregnancy, determining the optimal lifestyle intervention design to optimize impact on child health, and long duration of required follow up to examine child outcomes.
