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
introductionPregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) experience higher psychological stress levels than healthy pregnant women. The objectives of the current study were to examine (1) the differences in anxiety, depression, stress, and somatization levels between women diagnosed with GDM and healthy pregnant women, and (2) the differences in anxiety, depression, stress, and somatization levels among women with well-controlled blood sugar levels compared to those who are not well controlled.
methodsA quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 103 women who had been pregnant at least once, including 40 women diagnosed with GDM and 63 healthy pregnant women. An online questionnaire was distributed that included three parts: socio-demographic parameters, the DASS-21 questionnaire assessing anxiety, depression, and stress, and the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) questionnaire assessing somatization.
resultsDifferences in the anxiety (t = 14.470, <0.001), depression (t = 8.17, <0.001), stress (t = 16.354, <0.001), and somatization (t = 13.679, <0.001) levels between women diagnosed with GDM and healthy pregnant women were found. Women diagnosed with GDM reported higher levels of anxiety, depression, stress, and somatization compared to those without GDM. Additionally, women with better blood sugar control, as indicated by lower glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels had lower anxiety (t (38) = -2.04,
conclusionsPregnant women diagnosed with GDM report higher levels of negative mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, stress, and somatization compared to healthy pregnant women.
