The risk of stillbirth and infant death stratified by gestational age in women with gestational diabetes.

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
objectiveWe sought to compare the different mortality risks between delivery and expectant management in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). STUDY
designThis is a retrospective cohort study that included singleton pregnancies of women diagnosed with GDM delivering at 36-42 weeks' gestational age in California from 1997 through 2006. A composite mortality rate was developed to estimate the risk of expectant management at each gestational age incorporating the stillbirth risk during the week of continuing pregnancy plus the infant mortality risk at the gestational age 1 week hence.
resultsIn women with GDM, the risk of expectant management is lower than the risk of delivery at 36 weeks (17.4 vs 19.3/10,000), but at 39 weeks, the risk of expectant management exceeds that of delivery (relative risk, 1.8; 95% confidence interval, 1.2-2.6).
conclusionIn women with GDM, infant mortality rates at 39 weeks are lower than the overall mortality risk of expectant management for 1 week; absolute risks of stillbirth and infant death are low.
