Serum Ferritin Levels in Pregnancy and Their Association with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Prospective Longitudinal Study.
Article in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objective: Elevated serum ferritin (SF) levels are associated with oxidative stress (OS) and systemic inflammation in various disorders. However, the changes in SF levels during pregnancy and their relationship with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and blood glucose levels are not well understood. Methods: This prospective longitudinal study included 390 participants (130 GDM cases and 260 controls) during early pregnancy. We measured SF levels in the1 Results: SF levels decreased with increasing gestation in the study population. Compared to controls, GDM patients had significantly higher levels of SF (1 Conclusion: SF is significantly associated with GDM and may be a potential biomarker for GDM in early pregnancy.
