The impact of short maternal height on gestational diabetes.
Article in Acta diabetologica, 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
aimsTo evaluate the impact of short maternal height on gestational diabetes, by different body mass index (BMI) classes.
methodsWe performed this population-based retrospective cohort study including individuals with singleton pregnancies delivering January 1st 2012 to December 31st 2019 in the Eastern Health region of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. We divided maternal height into three groups: < 25% (short height), 25-75% (average height), and > 75% (tall height). We performed univariate and multivariate regression analyses (adjusting for potential confounders identified in univariate analyses) to determine if short height was an independent predictor of gestational diabetes, stratified by BMI class.
resultsWe assessed 15,803 pregnancies, with 1062 (6.7%) experiencing gestational diabetes. Among all BMI categories combined, short height was an independent predictor of gestational diabetes (OR = 1.20, 95% CI 1.02-1.41, p = 0.031). In stratified analyses, short height was an independent predictor of gestational diabetes among those with a normal BMI (OR = 1.75, 95% CI 1.23-2.50, p = 0.002) but not an independent predictor in higher BMI classes.
conclusionsThe association between short maternal height and gestational diabetes varies by BMI class. Among those with a normal BMI, short maternal height is associated with the development of gestational diabetes.
