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

Studies on humans and animals suggest associations between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with increased susceptibility to develop neurological disorders in offspring. However, the molecular mechanisms underpinning the intergenerational effects remain unclear. Using a mouse model of diabetes during pregnancy, we found that intrauterine hyperglycemia exposure resulted in memory impairment in both the first filial (F1) males and the second filial (F2) males from the F1 male offspring. Transcriptome profiling of F1 and F2 hippocampi revealed that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were enriched in neurodevelopment and synaptic plasticity. The reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) of sperm in F1 adult males showed that the intrauterine hyperglycemia exposure caused altered methylated modification of F1 sperm, which is a potential epigenetic mechanism for the intergenerational neurocognitive effects of GDM.
