1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), but reliable early predictive biomarkers remain lacking. This study investigated the predictive value of serum Sortilin, HMGB1, and galanin-like peptide (GALP) for GDM development in PCOS pregnancies. Methods: This prospective cohort study enrolled 139 PCOS patients. Serum Sortilin, HMGB1 and GALP levels were measured by ELISA at 8-12 weeks. GDM was diagnosed at 24-28 weeks using 75g OGTT (IADPSG criteria). Predictive performance was assessed using multivariable logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, with adjustment for maternal age, BMI, and lipid profiles. Results: The PCOS-GDM group (n=60) showed significantly higher levels of all biomarkers versus controls (n=79) (all p<0.001). GALP (aOR=1.55, 95%CI:1.05-1.92) and HMGB1 (aOR=1.65, 95%CI:1.50-1.79) independently predicted GDM after adjustment. The combined model achieved superior prediction (AUC=0.84, 95%CI:0.74-0.94) versus individual markers. Conclusion: Serum GALP and HMGB1 are promising early predictors of GDM in PCOS pregnancies, with combined assessment offering optimal risk stratification. These findings may facilitate timely intervention in high-risk populations.
