Racial, ethnic and nativity inequalities in gestational diabetes mellitus: The role of racial discrimination.

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
Introduction: Racial/ethnic minority and foreign-born women in the United States are at high risk of experiencing racial discrimination, which is associated with adverse health outcomes. Although racial discrimination is associated with metabolic disturbances such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, more studies should examine its effect on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), which is highest among racial/ethnic minority and foreign-born women. Methods: We used New York City Pregnancy Risk and Assessment Monitoring System survey data (2012-2014) linked with birth certificate items (N = 4084) in bivariate and multivariate analyses to examine racial/ethnic/nativity differences in racial discrimination, and to test if racial discrimination explains racial/ethnic/nativity inequalities in GDM Results: The 12-month prevalence of racial discrimination (9.5%) varied across race/ethnicity and nativity status, with Black, Hispanic and foreign-born women having the highest prevalence. Interaction effects indicate that US-born Black and Hispanic women are at increased risk of racial discrimination compared to their foreign-born counterparts. Women with GDM had statistically higher prevalence of racial discrimination (14%) compared with women without GDM (9%). Racial discrimination was associated with a 57% increased unadjusted risk of GDM (RR = 1.57, 95% CI [1.19, 2.06]) that decreased to 24% after adjusting for all covariates (RR = 1.24, 95% CI [0.87, 1.78]). Discussion: The high proportion of racial/ethnic minority and foreign-born women experiencing racial discrimination, and its potential impact on GDM, underscores the importance of culturally informed screening and intervention approaches by trained professionals.
