Kisspeptins and Glucose Homeostasis in Pregnancy: Implications for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus-a Review Article.
Review in Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is becoming an increasingly common complication of pregnancy with the global rise of obesity. The precise pathophysiological mechanisms underpinning GDM are yet to be fully elucidated. Kisspeptin, a peptide encoded by the KISS1 gene, is mainly expressed by placental syncytiotrophoblasts during pregnancy. It is an essential ligand for kisspeptin 1 receptor (KISS1R), which is expressed by both the villous and invasive extravillous cytotrophoblast cells. Circulatory kisspeptins rise dramatically in the second and third trimester of pregnancy coinciding with the period of peak insulin resistance. Kisspeptins stimulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion and decreased plasma levels inversely correlate with markers of insulin resistance. Additionally, kisspeptins play a critical role in the regulation of appetite, energy utilisation and glucose homeostasis. GDM pregnancies have been associated with low circulatory kisspeptins, despite higher placental kisspeptin and KISS1R expression. This review evaluates the role of kisspeptin in insulin secretion, resistance and regulation of appetite as well as its implications in GDM.
