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

backgroundDiabetes in pregnancy, including pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), is a significant global health concern. Understanding its temporal patterns is crucial for effective healthcare planning and intervention strategies.

methodsThis retrospective observational study utilized data from the United States Diabetes Surveillance System (USDDS) spanning 2000 to 2019. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of temporal trends in PGDM and GDM prevalence among people aged 15-44 years. Additionally, age and race-based subgroup analyses were performed to identify variations in diabetes patterns.

resultsOver the two-decade study period, PGDM and GDM exhibited distinct temporal patterns. PGDM prevalence remained stable initially (1.1% per 100 deliveries) but gradually increased to 1.6% by 2019. In contrast, GDM prevalence showed a consistent rise, reaching 9.6% per 100 deliveries by 2019. Age-specific analysis revealed higher prevalence rates in older age groups, peaking at 40-44 years. Race-based analyses unveiled significant disparities, with Asians having the highest GDM rates and Black individuals having the highest PGDM rates.

conclusionThe prevalence of diabetes in pregnancy in the United States has increased significantly from 2000 to 2019, emphasizing the need for continued surveillance and tailored interventions. Age and race-specific disparities highlight the importance of the growing impact of diabetes in pregnancy on maternal and fetal health.
