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
objectiveTo investigate the correlation between maternal leptin levels and 100 gram oral glucose test (OGTT) results as well as the correlation between leptin levels and the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and glucose intolerance during pregnancy. MATERIAL AND
method104 subjects with gestational weeks ranging from 24 to 32 weeks who had increased 50 gr OGTT values (>140) were included in this study. After the screening test, 100 gr OGTT was administered to the subjects. Sixty cases were selected from these subjects; twenty patients with one abnormal test result were identified as "glucose intolerant" group (Group 1), 20 patients with two abnormal test values were diagnosed with GDM (Group 2) and 20 patients with normal test results constituted the control group. The serum leptin levels of the groups were measured with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
resultsThe serum leptin level was 8.4±5.1 ng/ml for group 1, 9.1±5.3 ng/ml for group 2 and 6.3±4.6 ng/ml for the control group. Although serum leptin levels for group 1 and 2 was observed to be higher than the control group, the result was not statistically significant (p>0.05). This result did not change after adjusting for body mass index (BMI).
conclusionThere is no statistically significant difference between leptin levels among three groups.
