A Review of the Impact of Gestational Diabetes on Fetal Brain Development: An Update on Neurosonographic Markers During the Last Decade.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a prevalent medical complication in pregnancy that is rapidly escalating worldwide, with epidemic implications. This systematic review aims to identify fetal brain changes using neurosonography and pinpoint potential markers for the early diagnosis of GDM. We conducted a literature search from 6 January 2013 to 4 September 2024 to identify studies examining fetal brain development using ultrasound in pregnancies affected by GDM compared to uncomplicated pregnancies. The outcome measures included the cavum septum pellucidum (CSP), corpus callosum (CC), lateral ventricle (LV), cisterna magna (CM), transcerebellar diameter (TCD), cerebral fissures (CF), and others. For pregnancies affected by GDM, results were reported. Five studies were included. The findings suggest that the width of the CSP was larger in fetuses of mothers with GDM compared to the control group, and the mean widths of LVs were also larger in the fetuses of diabetic mothers compared to the control group. The influence of GDM on fetal brain development as assessed by neurosonography necessitates thorough investigation in future studies.
