Sleep facilitators and barriers in gestational diabetes mellitus: a qualitative study.
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 1 paper.
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
backgroundSleep disorders can exacerbate abnormal glucose metabolism and increase the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with gestational diabetes mellitus. However, data on sleep in gestational diabetes mellitus remain limited.
objectiveTo explore the sleep facilitators and barriers in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus to inform the development of interventions aimed at promoting maternal and child health.
methodsThis was a prospective qualitative interview study. Pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus who attended the obstetric clinic of a tertiary general hospital in Fujian Province from February 2024 to May 2024 were included. Participants were selected using purposive sampling and underwent one-on-one, semi-structured, in-depth interviews. Colaizzi's content analysis method was used to identify themes.
resultsEighteen participants were included in the study. Sleep facilitators and barriers in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus were categorized into the following themes: 1. Disease effects; 2. Physiological and psychological changes during pregnancy; 3. Daily behaviors and environmental factors; 4. Family support; 5. Need for professional medical services.
conclusionsHealthcare providers should consider enhancing sleep hygiene education and developing targeted interventions, such as relaxation training, based on the identified factors for patients with gestational diabetes mellitus.
