Maternal nutritional status and the risk of metabolic syndrome in pregnancy: implications for public health nutrition.
Observational study in Frontiers in public health, 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
Background: Maternal nutritional status is considered essential for metabolic adaptation during pregnancy. Both malnutrition and obesity are associated with metabolic abnormalities; however, the link between these factors and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in pregnancy remains poorly studied from a public health perspective. Aim: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the association between nutritional status and the risk of metabolic syndrome in pregnant females. Methods: In a retrospective observational study, data were collected from the medical records of 850 pregnant women from tertiary care hospitals between November 2023 and May 2025. Assessment of nutritional status was carried out using dietary and body mass index (BMI). MetS was diagnosed based on the presence of three or more metabolic conditions. Logistic regression was employed to identify significant risk factors, adjusting for various covariates. Results: MetS was diagnosed in 24.7% of cases. Patients with MetS were found to have higher BMI, dietary calorie intake, fat, and sugar consumption, and lower fibre consumption ( Conclusion: Nutrition status is significantly associated with the risk of MetS during pregnancy. Findings suggest that nutritional evaluation and intervention are important strategies in public health nutrition.
