Associations of maternal cyclin-dependent kinase 5 regulatory subunit-associated protein 1-like 1(CDKAL1) gene variants with adverse pregnancy outcome in Chinese women.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo test associations of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 regulatory subunit-associated protein 1-like 1 (CDKAL1) gene variants with the risk of adverse pregnancy outcome in Chinese women and whether the association was mediated by occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus.
methodsWe organized a 1:1 age-matched study nested within a prospective cohort of pregnant women (207 pairs) established in urban Tianjin. Adverse pregnancy outcome was defined as a composite outcome of preterm birth, low birth weight or macrosomia. Logistic regression analyses were used to estimate associations of CDKAL1 gene variants with adverse pregnancy outcome and its components. The CDKAL1 genetic marker was defined as encompassing any of the identified susceptibility variants for adverse pregnancy outcome.
resultsThe CDKAL1 genetic marker was associated with the risk of adverse pregnancy outcome (OR: 2.51, 95%CI: 1.47, 4.28), low birth weight (OR: 19.80, 95%CI: 2.15, 182) and macrosomia (OR: 2.40, 95%CI: 1.17, 4.93), but not with preterm birth (P = 0.105) after adjusting for traditional risk factors. Further adjusting for gestational diabetes mellitus, the CDKAL1 genetic marker remained significantly associated with adverse pregnancy outcome, and the OR (95%CI) was 2.52 (1.48, 4.30).
conclusionThe maternal CDKAL1 gene variants were associated with increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcome, low birth weight and macrosomia, independent of gestational diabetes mellitus. CDKAL1 gene might be a useful marker for identification of individuals at a particularly high risk of adverse pregnancy outcome in early pregnancy.
