The effect of race/ethnicity on adverse perinatal outcomes among patients with gestational diabetes mellitus.
Article in American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine racial/ethnic differences in perinatal outcomes among women with gestational diabetes mellitus. STUDY
designWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of 32,193 singleton births among women with gestational diabetes mellitus in California from 2006, using Vital Statistics Birth and Death Certificate and Patient Discharge Data. Data were divided by race/ethnicity: white, black, Hispanic, or Asian. Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze associations between race/ethnicity and adverse outcomes that were controlled for potential confounders. Outcomes included primary cesarean delivery, preeclampsia, neonatal hypoglycemia, preterm delivery, macrosomia, fetal anomaly, and respiratory distress syndrome.
resultsCompared with women in other races, black women had higher odds of preeclampsia (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.47-1.95), neonatal hypoglycemia (aOR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.07-3.00), and preterm delivery <37 weeks' gestation (aOR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.33-1.83). Asian women had the lowest odds of primary cesarean delivery (aOR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.69-0.82), large-for-gestational-age infants (aOR, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.33-0.48), and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (aOR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.40-0.73).
conclusionPerinatal outcomes among women with gestational diabetes mellitus differ by race/ethnicity and may be attributed to inherent sociocultural differences that may impact glycemic control, the development of chronic comorbidities, genetic variability, and variation in access to prenatal care, and quantity and quality of prenatal care.
