Influence of personality traits on self-efficacy and self-management in gestational diabetes: a cross-sectional 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
backgroundGiven the rising prevalence of gestational diabetes and its substantial impact on both fetal/neonatal outcomes and maternal postpartum health, understanding factors that influence effective management of the condition is of paramount importance.
methodsThis multicentre cross-sectional study was conducted between February and November 2023 on 319 women with gestational diabetes mellitus at three tertiary hospitals in Fujian, China. The participants completed self-report questionnaires on their demographic characteristics, personality traits, self-efficacy, self-management, and social support. A structural equation model identified associations among personality traits, self-efficacy, and self-management.
resultsAmong the 303 (94.98%) women included, education level, household income, abortion history, and prematurity history were associated with self-efficacy, while education level and household income were linked to self-management. Conscientiousness and extraversion positively influenced self-efficacy (β = 0.291, 0.378, P = 0.001), with conscientiousness also affecting self-management (β = 0.285, P < 0.05). Social support mediated the relationships between personality traits, self-efficacy, and self-management.
conclusionEfforts to improve self-efficacy and self-management behaviours in women with gestational diabetes may benefit from focusing on personal traits and increasing social support.
