Acanthosis nigricans and acrochordons as clinical markers of metabolic disturbance during pregnancy: a prospective cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: This study investigated the prevalence of acanthosis nigricans and acrochordons as potential markers of diabetes or insulin resistance in diabetic and non-diabetic pregnant women, and examined their potential association with pregnancy complications. Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary university medical center and included 62 pregnant women with diabetes during pregnancy and 58 non-diabetic controls. Maternal demographics, obstetrical history, and neonatal outcomes were collected. The presence of acanthosis nigricans and acrochordons was assessed at multiple body sites. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify obstetrical complications and perinatal outcomes that are independently associated with acrochordons. Results: Acanthosis nigricans was more prevalent among women with diabetes, particularly in the axilla (59.7% vs. 32.8%, Conclusion: Pregnant women with gestational diabetes showed a significantly higher prevalence of acanthosis nigricans and acrochordons compared to those without. This association suggests that acanthosis nigricans and acrochordons may be potential indicators of underlying insulin resistance during pregnancy.
