Antenatal health and perinatal outcomes of Pacific Islander women in Australia with and without gestational diabetes: A ten-year retrospective cohort study.
Article in The Australian & New Zealand journal of obstetrics & gynaecology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPacific Islander (PI) women in Australia have an increased risk of gestational diabetes (GDM); however, their perinatal outcomes are poorly understood.
aimThe aim was to determine the maternal characteristics and perinatal outcomes of PI women with and without GDM compared to Australian/European (AE)-born women.
methodsA retrospective analysis of perinatal outcomes of singleton deliveries >20 weeks' gestation between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2020 was conducted at a tertiary provider (Melbourne, Australia). Antenatal details and birth outcomes were extracted from the Birth Outcome Systems database. t-Tests and χ
resultsOf 52,795 consecutive births, 24,860 AE women (13.3% with GDM) and 1207 PI-born women (20.1% with GDM) were compared. PI women had significantly greater pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and significantly lower rates of smoking and nulliparity. PI women with GDM had higher rates of pre-eclampsia (P < 0.001), large-for-gestational age (LGA) neonates (P = 0.037) and neonatal hypoglycaemia (P = 0.017) but lower rates of small-for-gestational age neonates (P = 0.034). Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)/special care nursery requirements did not increase. After having adjusted for covariates, PI women's risk of LGA neonates (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 1.06, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.86-1.31) was attenuated; however, risk of pre-eclampsia (aOR: 1.49, 95% CI: 1.01-2.21) and neonatal hypoglycaemia (aOR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.01-1.96) still increased. They were less likely to require a primary caesarean section (aOR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.73-0.99).
conclusionPI women have higher BMI and GDM rates, contributing to an increased likelihood of adverse perinatal outcomes. BMI is a modifiable risk factor that could be addressed prenatally.
