Impact of Maternal Education on Perinatal and Maternal Outcomes in Women With a History of Gestational Diabetes.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionGestational diabetes is a common complication of pregnancy and is linked to adverse health outcomes for both mothers and their children. Lower maternal educational levels and poor health literacy have also been associated with poor health outcomes. However, few studies have analyzed the magnitude of the association between maternal education and poor outcomes for both mother and child in the context of gestational diabetes. This study aimed to explore the potential relationship between maternal and paternal education levels and the risk of negative health outcomes in both mother and child in pregnant women with gestational diabetes in the United States.
methodsThis project is a retrospective cohort study. National Vital Statistics System-Natality (NVSS-N) data from 2019 to 2020 was used, sampling women aged 18-34 with gestational diabetes who gave birth to a singleton. Outcomes were the presence of at least one congenital anomaly and maternal intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Multivariable logistic regression analysis via Stata V. 16 (StataCorp LLC, College Station, TX, US) estimated adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
resultsAmong 541,117 women, 38% had a high school diploma or less, 52% completed some college, and 11% held a master's degree or higher. The maternal ICU admission rate was 0.17%, and at least one congenital anomaly occurred in 0.21% of births. In adjusted models, compared to mothers with a high school diploma or less, those with a master's degree or some college had adjusted ORs of 1.14 (95% CI = 0.80, 1.61) and 1.11 (95% CI = 0.90, 1.36) for congenital anomalies, respectively. Paternal education was associated with reduced odds for both outcomes.
conclusionsMaternal education was not associated with adverse outcomes in gestational diabetes. Findings suggest paternal education may impact patient outcomes and should be further explored. Potential alternative targets to improve the health of women with gestational diabetes and their offspring are warranted.
