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

objectiveThis study aimed to compare the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in older underweight pregnant women vs young overweight/obese ones.

methodsA multiracial retrospective-cohort study was conducted in five hospitals of Shanghai on 7,485 women who had been pregnant during 2018-2020. Incidence of GDM was equal to the proportion of GDM cases in the total number of cases observed in the same period. Comparison of GDM incidence of older underweight pregnant women and young overweight/obese ones was done with χ
