Effects of maternal age, parity and pre-pregnancy body mass index on the glucose challenge test and gestational diabetes mellitus.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectivesTo study the effects of age, parity and body mass index (BMI) on the incidence of a positive 50 g glucose challenge test (OGCT) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in healthy pregnant Omani women.
methodsA 50 g OGCT was performed on 307 healthy pregnant Omani women at 24-28 weeks of gestation. When the venous plasma glucose concentration (VPG) reached >7.8 mmol/l after 1 h, the OGCT was considered to be positive. Women with positive OGCTs had a confirmatory diagnosis of GDM, which was established by performing a 2-h 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). When either fasting or post-2-h 75 g OGTT values were >5.5 mmol/l or >8 mmol/l, respectively, women were considered diabetic.
resultsThis study screened 307 women and identified 83 (27.03%) OGCT-positive and 23 (7.5%) GDM-positive cases. The incidences of a positive OGCT and GDM increased significantly with increasing maternal age from 20.0% to 2.2%, respectively, in women aged ≤25 years to 37.8% and 14.7%, respectively, in women aged >35 years (p = 0.02 and p = 0.009, respectively). The incidences of a positive OGCT and GDM increased markedly with increasing pre-pregnancy BMI, from 19.8% to 3.8%, respectively, in women with BMIs ≤25 kg/m
conclusionMaternal age and pre-pregnancy BMI have profound effects on the incidences of a positive OGCT and GDM.
