Prevalence of Gestational Diabetes in Iran: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Review in Medical journal of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 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: Pregnant women who have gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are more prone to adverse pregnancy outcomes. We estimated the prevalence of GDM in Iran. Methods: Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Persian databases (SID, Magiran, Irandoc, and) were searched using the MeSH and non-MeSH terms in abstract, title, or keywords of articles until June 2021, with no limitation in time. Random effects models were applied to summarize the GDM prevalence in Iran. The obtained data were quantitatively analyzed to determine an effect size for each paper. The pooled effect size was introduced as prevalence and 95% confidence interval. Sensitivity analyses and subgroup analyses were done to determine heterogeneity. Publication bias was assessed by the classic fail-safe N and Egger test. Results: A total of 53 papers were considered for meta-analysis, involving 56,521 Iranians. The total GDM prevalence in Iran was 7.6% (95% CI, 6.1%-9.4%). Conclusion: This meta-analysis was the newest to estimate the GDM prevalence among Iranian women. Our results suggest a high prevalence of GDM in Iran, showing that Iran might have many GDM patients.
