Risk of Gestational Diabetes Among South Asian Immigrants Living in New Jersey--a Retrospective Data Review.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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 aimed to identify differences in distribution of risk factors, prevalence, and complications of gestational diabetes (GD) among South Asian (SA) immigrant women, separately for immigrants from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, relative to US-born non-Hispanic whites (NHW) living in New Jersey.
methodWe used NJ birth certificate data linked to hospitalization data from 1999 to 2002 (n = 327,069). We compared the distribution of risk factors among these groups using chi-squared test and calculated adjusted odds of GD for SA groups compared to NHW using logistic regression. Among women with GD, we further analyzed the odds of complications for SA groups relative to whites.
resultsSri Lankans were more likely to be of advanced maternal age. Pakistanis and Bangladeshis were more likely to start prenatal care late. Bangladeshis had the highest adjusted odds of GD (aOR = 4.3; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 3.5-5.3), followed by Indians (aOR = 3.9; 95 % CI 3.7-4.2), Sri Lankans (aOR = 3.6; 95 % CI 2.4-5.8), and Pakistanis (aOR = 3.4; 95 % CI 2.9-3.8) relative to NHW. Among women with GD, South Asian groups had lower odds of preterm birth and higher odds of having a small for gestational age infant than whites. DISCUSSION: This study provided evidence of disproportionate risk of GD among four SA groups living in NJ.
