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
backgroundGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common prenatal condition. Many risk factors have been linked to its occurrence. This study aimed to assess the risk factors of GDM among pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) in King Saud Medical City (KSMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and explore the relationship between risk factors and different socio-demographic factors. METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted on a total of 184 participants using a self-administered questionnaire distributed among pregnant women attending ANC. The collected data included sociodemographic information, medical history, obstetric history, and family history of GDM and its associated risk factors. Qualitative data was expressed in the form of numbers and percentages (N and %). The chi-square (χ
resultsThe prevalence of GDM was 23.9%. There was a significant association between GDM and family history of diabetes (n=39, p-value=0.0218), above normal glucose tolerance test (n=19, p-value≤0.001), and the last trimester of pregnancy (n=24, p-value=0.0139). There were no significant associations between GDM and smoking, hypertension, and adherence to health advice (p-value>0.05).
conclusionGDM exhibited a high prevalence among pregnant women in KSMC, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It showed significant associations with family history of diabetes, abnormal glucose tolerance test results, and the last trimester of pregnancy.
