Association Between History of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and the Risk of Arthritis in Women.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: The association between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and the risk of arthritis has not been reported. GDM increases the risk of long-term complications including diabetes and metabolic syndrome that are positively associated with the risk of arthritis. This study aimed to explore the association between GDM and the risk of arthritis. Methods: Women (age ≥ 20 years) who had delivered at least one live birth were included from the 2007 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cohort ( Results: GDM was associated with increased odds of arthritis [multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval): 1.31 (1.06-1.62)], and the result was similar in sensitivity analysis with further adjustment for metabolic syndrome [1.30 (1.05-1.60)]. In subgroup analyses, GDM was associated with increased odds of osteoarthritis [1.47 (1.05-2.06)], while no association was observed with rheumatoid arthritis [1.04 (0.69-1.57)] and other types [1.26 (0.94-1.68)]. GDM was associated with increased odds of arthritis in women without metabolic syndrome [1.34 (1.00-1.78)] and diabetes [1.35 (1.03-1.76)], in obese individuals [1.64 (1.24-2.16)], current/former smokers [1.43 (1.05-1.95)], and current drinkers [1.76 (1.00-3.14)], and in individuals engaging in higher levels of physical activity [1.53 (1.06-2.20)]. Conclusions: GDM was associated with increased odds of arthritis, and the association was independent of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
