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

introductionTo explore the independent and combined effects of maternal age, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), and gestational weight gain (GWG) on pregnancy outcomes in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

methodsA total of 2171 pregnant women with GDM attending the Women's Hospital of Zhejiang University were retrospectively included. We compared pregnancy outcomes in different age, BMI, and GWG groups after adjusting for confounding variables.

resultsResults showed that (1) advanced maternal age increased the risk of primary Cesarean section and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) in normal weight; (2) independent of age and GWG, high BMI significantly increased the risk of HDP, primary Cesarean section, and macrosomia; (3) Women with excessive GWG had a higher risk of primary Cesarean section and HDP, even they were ≤ 29 years old or normal weight, respectively; (4) Pregnant women with inadequate GWG had a higher risk of preterm birth and a lower risk of macrosomia in both the 30-34 age group and the normal weight group; (5) BMI was a better predictor of HDP than GWG among women younger than 30.

conclusionsAmong the GDM population, women over the age of 35, overweight and obese, or with an excessive GWG were more prone to adverse pregnancy outcomes, especially primary Cesarean delivery and HDP.
