Impact of maternal diabetes on birthweight is greater in non-Hispanic blacks than in non-Hispanic whites.
Article in Diabetologia, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
aims/hypothesisTo determine the impact of maternal diabetes during pregnancy on racial disparities in fetal growth.
methodsUsing linked birth certificate, inpatient hospital and prenatal claims data we examined live singleton births of mothers resident in South Carolina who self-reported their race as non-Hispanic white (NHW; n = 140,128) or non-Hispanic black (NHB; n = 82,492) and delivered at 28-42 weeks' gestation between 2004 and 2008.
resultsPrepregnancy diabetes prevalence was higher in NHB (3.0%) than in NHW (1.7%), while the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) was similar in NHB (6.1%) and NHW (6.3%). At a delivery BMI of 35 kg/m(2), GDM exposure was associated with an average birthweight only 17 g (95% CI 4, 30) higher in NHW, but 78 g (95% CI 61, 95) higher in NHB (controlling for gestational age, maternal age, infant sex and availability of information on prenatal care). Figures for prepregnancy diabetes were 58 g (95% CI 34, 81) in NHW and 60 g (95% CI 37, 84) in NHB. GDM had a greater impact on birthweight in NHB than in NHW (60 g racial difference [95% CI 39, 82]), while prepregnancy diabetes had a large but similar impact. Similarly, the RR for GDM of having a large- relative to a normal-weight-for-gestational-age infant was lower in NHW (RR 1.41 [95% CI 1.34, 1.49]) than in NHB (RR 2.24 [95% CI 2.05, 2.46]). CONCLUSIONS/
interpretationThese data suggest that the negative effects of GDM combined with obesity during pregnancy may be greater in NHB than in NHW individuals.
