Chicago Neighborhood Context and Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Maternal Diabetes.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesTo determine if rates of maternal diabetes vary by race, ethnicity, and neighborhood hardship.
methodsWe conducted a secondary analysis of live births in Chicago from 2010 to 2017. Our sample was restricted to Non-Hispanic White, Non-Hispanic Black, Mexican, Non-Hispanic Asian, and Other Hispanic mothers between the ages of 15 and 50, with singleton births. The addresses of mothers were geocoded to specific neighborhoods, which we stratified into tertiles using the Economic Hardship Index. We used generalized logit mixed models to examine the interaction between race/ethnicity, neighborhood economic hardship, and maternal diabetes.
resultsIn our cohort of 299,053 mothers, 4.75% were diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Asian mothers had the highest frequency of gestational diabetes (8.3%), followed by Mexican mothers (6.8%). Within their respective racial/ethnic groups, Asian and Mexican mothers living in medium hardship neighborhoods had the highest odds of gestational diabetes compared to the reference group (OR 2.80, 95%CI 2.53, 3.19; OR 2.30, 95%CI 2.12, 2.49 respectively). Overall rates of preexisting diabetes were 0.9% and were highest among Mexican and Black mothers (1.26% and 1.06%, respectively). Asian mothers in medium hardship neighborhoods had the greatest odds of preexisting diabetes, among all Asian mothers and compared to the reference (OR 4.71 95% CI 3.60, 6.16).
conclusionsFor racial and ethnic minoritized mothers, gestational and preexisting diabetes do not increase in a step-wise fashion with neighborhood hardship; rates were often higher in low and medium hardship neighborhoods.
