Pre-pregnancy body mass index, gestational diabetes mellitus, and gestational weight gain: individual and combined effects on fetal growth.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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: Pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and gestational weight gain (GWG) are interlinked and may play a complex role in fetal growth. We aimed to examine the relationship between pre-pregnancy BMI, GDM, GWG, and fetal growth outcomes and explore the contribution of GDM and GWG to the relationship between Pre-pregnancy obesity/overweight and large-for-gestational-age (LGA) in a prospective cohort. Methods: We prospectively recruited women in the first trimester and having one-step GDM screened with a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation ( Results: Pre-pregnancy obesity, GDM, and excessive GWG were all independently associated with increased odds of LGA. Inadequate GWG was associated with higher odds of preterm birth. Compared with women unexposed to pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity, GDM, or excessive GWG, women exposed any two conditions had higher odds for LGA (AOR 3.18, 95% CI 1.25-8.11) and women with coexistence of all had the highest odds for LGA (AOR 8.09, 95% CI 2.18-29.97). The mediation analysis showed that GDM explained 18.60% ( Conclusion: Pre-pregnancy obesity/overweight, GDM, and excessive GWG are associated with higher odds of fetal growth disturbances as individual factors and when they co-exist. The effect of pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity on LGA is partially achieved through GDM and excessive GWG.
