Association of Serum Ferritin Level in Early Second Trimester of Pregnancy with Development of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Prospective Observational Study.
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with various maternal and perinatal morbidities. Serum ferritin is a major storage protein of iron and also acts as acute phase reactant which is increased in inflammatory conditions. GDM is a state of insulin resistance and associated with inflammation. The aim of this study was to find the correlation between serum ferritin and development of GDM. Objectives: To determine the serum ferritin concentration in nonanemic pregnant women and its correlation with subsequent development of GDM. Methodology: In this prospective observational study, 302 nonanemic pregnant women with singleton gestation between 14 and 20 weeks, attending antenatal OPD, were enrolled. Serum ferritin was measured at the time of enrolment, and they were followed till 24-28 weeks of gestation and subjected to blood glucose test by DIPSI method. A total of 92 women had blood glucose level ≥ 140 mg/dl and were labeled as GDM, and 210 pregnant women with blood glucose level < 140 mg/dl were labeled as non-GDM. Result: Mean serum ferritin level of women with GDM (56.44 ± 19.19 ng/ml) was found to be higher as compared to non-GDM (27.62 ± 12.11 ng/ml), and this difference was found to be statistically significant ( Conclusion: We can infer that serum ferritin is associated with development of GDM. Based on the findings of the current study, serum ferritin level can be used a predictive marker for the development of GDM.
