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
objectiveOur research objective was to validate and contribute further evidence to the studies regarding large for gestational age and birthweight percentile by examining oral glucose tolerance test and glycosylated hemoglobin levels in both healthy women and those with gestational diabetes mellitus.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital involving 106 women who delivered at gestational week 36 or later between February 2022 and February 2023. Maternal, obstetric, and neonatal data were collected from the participant's medical records. Large for gestational age and non-large for gestational age groups were compared. Correlation analysis was used to determine associations among oral glucose tolerance test, glycosylated hemoglobin levels, and the birthweight percentile.
resultsMothers of neonates in the large for gestational age category had higher body mass indexes before pregnancy (p=0.002) and delivery (p=0.003), as well as a higher incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (p=0.027). Mothers of male large for gestational age infants had higher fasting plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels compared to male non-large for gestational age infants (p=0.007 and p=0.004, respectively). There was a weak positive correlation between fasting plasma glucose levels and birthweight percentile in the overall group (r=0.342, p<0.006). Further analysis by gender showed a weak positive correlation between birthweight percentile and fasting plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin values in male newborns (r=0.393, p=0.004 and r=0.373, p=0.006, respectively).
conclusionOur study has established a clear association between the birthweight percentile in male infants and the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin and fasting plasma glucose measured during oral glucose tolerance test. It is imperative to devise potential strategies aimed at achieving optimal glycosylated hemoglobin and fasting plasma glucose parameters to effectively reduce the frequency of large for gestational age in male infants.
