Racial disparities in perinatal outcomes among women with gestational diabetes.
Article in Journal of women's health (2002), 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
backgroundWe sought to evaluate perinatal outcomes by race/ethnicity among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
methodsWe conducted a 14-year retrospective cohort study of women with GDM. Selected perinatal outcomes were examined. Unadjusted and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR, aPR) of perinatal outcomes, comparing Hispanic and African American women with Caucasian women, were calculated.
resultsHispanics comprised 54% of the 1018 woman cohort. Half received medical management of GDM (52%), more than African Americans (45%) or Caucasians (39%)(p<0.05). Compared with Caucasians, Hispanics had fewer deliveries <37 weeks (aPR 0.58, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.42-0.81), less gestational hypertension (aPR 0.43, 95% CI 0.22-0.83), larger median birth weight infants (3453 g vs 3291 g, p<0.05), and greater risk of shoulder dystocia (aPR 3.52, 95% CI 1.30-9.50). Hispanic women had fewer adverse outcomes overall compared with Caucasian or African American women.
conclusionsWe report differences between Hispanic and Caucasian women with GDM. Treatment to achieve glycemic control and reduce adverse outcomes may differ by race/ethnicity.
