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
An increasing number of epidemiological studies suggest that adherence to Western dietary patterns (WDPs) is associated with risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), but results remain inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effect of WDPs and typical Western dietary foods on GDM. A literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Web of Knowledge, and the Cochrane Library up to December 2019. Cohort studies investigating the combined associations of WDPs with incidence of GDM were included. Reviewers were paired, and they independently reviewed and assessed studies, extracted data, and evaluated study quality. Pooled HRs were calculated using random-effects models. Heterogeneity and publication bias tests were also conducted. Twenty-one prospective cohort studies with 191,589 participants, including 12,331 women with GDM, were included in our analysis. The pooled risk ratio (RR) of WDPs was 1.52 (95% CI: 1.21, 1.91), indicating a significant association with GDM risk in Western countries. Potatoes (pooled RR: 1.12; 95% CI: 0.93, 1.35) showed a nonsignificant (P > 0.05) relation to GDM risk. However, consumption of animal meat (pooled RR: 1.35; 95% CI: 1.16, 1.57) and fast food (pooled RR: 1.75; 95% CI: 1.41, 2.19) showed a positive association with the risk of developing GDM. Subgroup analysis demonstrated that the consumption of red meat and processed red meat increased the risk of GDM more than either poultry or fish intake. Our study provides further evidence for understanding the relation between dietary factors and increased GDM risk and contributes to reducing the incidence of GDM through healthy diets.
