Effect of exercise interventions on glycemic control in women with gestational diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Women's health nursing (Seoul, Korea), 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
purposeThis study aimed to examine the overall impact of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effects of exercise interventions-considering program duration, timing, and type-on blood glucose control in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), thereby improving the reliability of evidence in this field.
methodsFor this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched major international and domestic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL, RISS, DBpia, NSDL, and KISS) for RCTs published up to December 2024 in English or Korean. Participants were pregnant women diagnosed with GDM. Interventions involved exercise for blood glucose management, while the control group received routine care. The outcome variables were blood glucose levels, including fasting blood sugar (FBS), 2-hour postprandial glucose (PPG2hr), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Fifteen studies were selected and analyzed using a random-effects model, with mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
resultsGlycemic parameters in the exercise group improved significantly compared with those in the routine care group: FBS, -0.47 mmol/L (n=963; MD=-0.47; 95% CI, -0.69 to -0.24; p<.001), PPG2hr, -0.62 mmol/L (n=944; MD=-0.62; 95% CI, -0.84 to -0.40; p<.001), and HbA1c, -0.39% (n=259; MD=-0.39; 95% CI, -0.53 to -0.25; p<.001).
conclusionExercise intervention is an effective strategy for regulating blood glucose levels in women with GDM. Moreover, engaging in exercise approximately 15 minutes after meals and scheduling sessions 7 to 10 times per week may be more effective than current recommendations of at least 30 minutes of exercise three times weekly.
