Gestational Diabetes Mellitus among Pregnant Women Delivering in a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06111157 (Clinical Spectrum of Infants of Diabetic Mothers , in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Assiut University Children's Hospital), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus is increasing globally leading to significant maternal and foetal morbidity. This study aimed to find out the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus among pregnant women delivering in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study on a total of 3034 pregnant women was conducted in a tertiary care hospital from 14th April 2017 to 13th April 2018 with ethical approval from Research and Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 061-077/078) of the hospital. Pregnant women who met the eligibility criteria were included in the study. Convenience sampling was done. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 24.0 and Microsoft Excel. Point estimate at 99% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and percentage for binary data. Results: Among 3034 patients who delivered in the tertiary centre, the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus was found to be 104 (3.42%) (2.57-4.26 at 99% Confidence Interval). The majority of women were of maternal age >30 years in 69 (66.34%). Out of which 48 (46.15%) women had family history of diabetes mellitus. Thirty-eight (36.53%) patients required a caesarean section. The most common obstetric complication was polyhydramnios in 35 (35.57%). Conclusions: The prevalence of gestational diabetes was lower when compared to other studies done in similar settings. The majority of women were of higher maternal age, had family history of diabetes mellitus and were also obese. Keywords: diabetes mellitus; gestational diabetes; pregnancy in diabetes.
