Skeletal muscle mitochondrial bioenergetics in pregnancy: a comparison of in vivo and in vitro outcomes.
Article in Journal of the Endocrine Society, 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: Exercise-mediated adaptations to mitochondria are well established in nongravid populations; however, the extent to which these adaptations occur during pregnancy remains unclear. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare skeletal muscle mitochondrial bioenergetics in physically active ( Methods: Groups were matched for age, race, and pregravid body mass index and were studied in the second (T2; weeks 21-25) and third trimester (T3; weeks 31-35). Free-living physical activity was assessed by accelerometry and aerobic fitness by peak oxygen uptake (VO Results: Despite a decline in physical activity across gestation, active women maintained a higher VO Conclusion: These findings suggest that late pregnancy may blunt mitochondrial adaptations to aerobic exercise despite a preservation of cardiovascular fitness. Future studies are needed to determine whether increasing activity throughout gestation can enhance mitochondrial respiration.
