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

backgroundGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is experienced at a higher rate in women from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds. The aim of this systematic review is to describe the experiences of women with GDM from CALD backgrounds and compare their experiences to women with GDM from non-CALD backgrounds. MATERIALS AND

methodsMEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Scopus, WOS and CINAHL databases were searched for qualitative and quantitative studies which included data on the experiences of CALD background women with GDM during all stages of pregnancy. Quality appraisal utilized checklists for analytical cross-sectional studies and qualitative research. Thematic analysis was performed using nVivo software.

resultsOf the 3054 studies identified, 24 studies met the inclusion criteria. Data synthesis produced five key themes: (1) Response to diagnosis, (2) Experiences with self-management, (3) Interactions with the healthcare system, (4) Mental health challenges and (5) Facilitators and barriers to support. Women with GDM from CALD and non-CALD backgrounds similarly expressed mental health challenges, feeling burdened by recommendations, and challenges interacting with healthcare professionals (HCP). The major difference in experience was the cultural relevance of recommendations, especially related to diet recommendations.

conclusionGestational diabetes mellitus is a burdensome diagnosis for CALD and non-CALD women, with CALD women uniquely experiencing a lack of culturally relevant recommendations for self-management. The similarities and differences in experience call for optimisation of GDM management and support for women with GDM.
