Determinants of the persistency of macrosomia and shoulder dystocia despite treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus.
Article in Heliyon, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
aimsto identify potentially modifiable risk factors associated with the persistency of macrosomia and/or shoulder dystocia in infants born to women treated for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
methodsthis case-control retrospective study included 113 cases complicated by macrosomia (ponderal index ≥97
resultsMacrosomia and/or shoulder dystocia were associated with previous delivery of a large for gestational age (LGA) infant (adjusted odds ratio, 2.34, 95% confidence interval [1.01-5.45]), three abnormal glucose values during oral glucose tolerance test (2.83 [1.19-6.72]), a higher gestational weight gain before treatment (1.08 [1.01-1.15]), and failure of diabetes management (2.68 [1.32-5.45]). A non-Euro Caucasian origin (3.08 [1.37-6.93]), previous delivery of a LGA infant (3.21 [1.31-7.87]), institution of treatment after 32 weeks of gestation (3.92 [1.86-8.25]), and insulin therapy (2.91 [1.20-7.03]) were associated with failure of diabetes management.
conclusionssupportive care in at risk women, limitation of weight gain in early pregnancy, shortened delay between diagnosis and treatment of GDM, and intensive insulin dosage adjustments might be means to improve the neonatal prognosis of GDM.
