Association of air pollution and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure with gestational diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Background: The association between air pollution (AP) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), especially between different pollutants and GDM, remains controversial and debatable. Hence, we conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to provide comprehensive evidence-based support for the association between AP and GDM. Methods: The databases of the Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science were searched from inception to 1 April 2022, in combination with manual retrieval. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess the quality of case-control studies and cohort studies, while the Joana Brigg's Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist was used for the quality assessment of cross-sectional studies. Results: We identified 35 epidemiological studies (including 33 cohort studies, 1 cross-sectional study, and 1 case-control study) covering 6,939,725 pregnant women, of whom 865,460 were GDM patients. The NOS score of all included case-control studies and cohort studies was higher than six, and one of the included cross-sectional studies was rated as high quality according to the JBI assessment. Meta-analysis showed that fine particulate matter and air pollutants [PM2.5, odds ratio (OR) =1.06, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.05-1.08, Z =7.76, P<0.001; PM10, OR =1.06, 95% CI: 1.01-1.11, Z =2.62, P=0.009; sulfur dioxide (SO Conclusions: Exposure to PM2.5, PM10, SO
