Maternal Weight and Gestational Diabetes Impacts on Child Health: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Maternal weight and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have significant implications for both maternal and child health. This narrative review explores the intricate relationship between maternal pre-pregnancy weight, gestational weight gain, and GDM, focusing on their short- and long-term effects on child health outcomes. The review highlights evidence linking maternal obesity and GDM to increased risks of adverse outcomes in infants and children, such as macrosomia, neonatal hypoglycemia, childhood obesity, and metabolic disorders. It also discusses the intergenerational transmission of metabolic risk, underscoring the importance of early intervention and prevention strategies in maternal healthcare. Furthermore, the review emphasizes the need for tailored approaches to managing maternal weight and GDM to mitigate potential risks and improve health outcomes for future generations. Key recommendations include promoting healthy preconception weight, monitoring gestational weight gain, and enhancing postnatal follow-up for both mothers and children. This review underscores the critical role of maternal health in shaping the developmental trajectory of offspring and highlights opportunities for healthcare professionals to reduce the long-term impact of GDM on child health.
