1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is often characterized by low maternal calcifediol (25OHD) and high inflammation levels. This study aimed to determine whether placental protein expressions of CYP27B1, vitamin D receptor (VDR), and CYP24A1 are impaired in GDM and to investigate the effect of a 25OHD treatment on IL-6 secretion by GDM trophoblasts compared with normoglycemic (NG) trophoblasts. Placental tissue samples were harvested to determine protein expression of CYP27B1, VDR, and CYP24A1 by immunoblots. Isolated trophoblasts were stimulated with 25OHD concentrations (25 to 2000 nM) once a day for 3 days and IL-6 secretion was quantified (ELISA). We recruited 17 NG women, 19 women with GDM treated with diet and exercise alone (GDM-d) and 9 women with GDM who necessitated insulin therapy (GDM-i). Protein expressions of CYP27B1 and VDR were significantly higher in placental tissue from GDM-d women compared with NG women (both
