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
This study aims to evaluate the association between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) at first pregnancy and the incidence of cancer within 10 years postpartum. We used customized health information data from the National Health Insurance Corporation (NHIC). This retrospective cohort study included data from women who were not previously diagnosed with diabetes or any kind of malignancy in the National Health Screening Examination through the NHIC during 2002⁻2003, and only women who had their first delivery between 2004 and 2005 was included. Follow-up cancer diagnosis was carried out up until 2015. Among the 102,900 primiparous women, 4970 (4.83%) were diagnosed with GDM. During 10 year total follow-up period, 6569 (6.38%) cases of primary cancer were identified. The incidence of cancer was higher in women with GDM and the most common type of cancer was thyroid cancer, followed by breast cancer. On the basis of survival analysis, we adopted the Cox proportional hazards model and found that GDM was positively associated with cancer, particularly in thyroid cancer (HR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.054⁻1.532,
