Serum copeptin in women with gestational diabetes mellitus: A meta-analysis.

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
Previous studies have reported mixed results regarding the relationship between serum copeptin levels and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk. To address inconsistencies in prior research, this meta-analysis examines the potential link between serum copeptin levels and the risk of developing GDM. Our objective was to comprehensively evaluate this association. We systematically reviewed observational studies from Medline, Web of Science, Embase, Wanfang, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases up to October 15, 2023, employing a random-effects model to integrate the data while considering heterogeneity. This analysis incorporated 10 studies comprising 625 women with GDM and 1212 healthy pregnant controls. Our findings showed no significant difference in serum copeptin levels between women with GDM and those without (standardized mean difference [SMD] 0.01, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.22 to 0.24, P = 0.92, I2 = 75%). Univariate meta-analysis indicated a positive correlation between the body mass index (BMI) of the participants and the outcomes (coefficient = 0.11, P = 0.002). Further subgroup analysis demonstrated that women with a mean BMI ≥ 26 kg/m2 and GDM had significantly higher serum copeptin levels compared to their non-GDM counterparts (SMD 0.31, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.57, P = 0.02, I2 = 46%). Conversely, no difference was observed in women with a BMI < 26 kg/m2 (SMD -0.23, 95% CI -0.37 to-0.09, P = 0.002, I2 = 0%, P for subgroup difference = 0.003). Variables, such as the country of study, maternal age, the timing of blood sampling, copeptin measurement methods, or GDM diagnostic criteria did not significantly affect the results. In summary, the association between serum copeptin levels and GDM risk is influenced by the BMI of pregnant women, indicating that elevated serum copeptin might be linked to GDM in individuals with a BMI ≥ 26 kg/m2.
