Sociodemographic Profile and Clinical Outcomes of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Regional Hospital-Based Cross-Sectional Study From Mauritius.

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
introductionMauritius is among the countries with the highest disease burden globally in diabetes mellitus (DM), ranking twelfth in terms of disease impact. Though data is available for DM in Mauritius, there is a lack of data and research on gestational DM (GDM) in Mauritius. This study aimed to bridge this gap to determine the sociodemographic details of GDM patients in the Mauritian context, the prevalence of GDM in Mauritius, identify the risk factors predisposing Mauritian women to GDM, and assess maternal and fetal/neonatal complications of GDM in Mauritius.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on pregnant women diagnosed with GDM at Dr. A. G. Jeetoo Hospital, Port Louis, Mauritius, from September 2019 to February 2020. Results: The mean age of GDM patients was 27.90 ± SD 5.998 years. Most of the patients belonged to the age group 20-30 years (97, 52.2%). Passive smokers accounted for 50 (26.9%). Most of the patients were housewives (97, 52.2%), and the common treatment offered to GDM patients was dietary modification (160, 86%), followed by insulin therapy (16, 8.6%), and metformin in 1 (0.5%). Maternal complications were found in 75 (40.3%) of the patients with GDM. Preterm delivery was the most common type of maternal complication, followed by recurrent urinary tract infection and gestational hypertension. Neonatal complications were present in 60 (32.3%) of the patients. The most common neonatal complication was low birth weight (LBW), followed by hypoglycemia and jaundice.
conclusionThe prevalence of GDM was found to be 16% in Mauritius. A total of 52.2% patients belonged to the age group of 20-30 years and were housewives (52.2%) by occupation. Most of them followed Christianity (58.6%). About 64.5% of the patients had a positive family history of DM, followed by other comorbidities (10.8%). GDM may cause significant maternal and neonatal complications. This study bridges the existing knowledge gap by determining the prevalence of GDM in Mauritius and identifying the risk factors specific to Mauritian women. The most common neonatal complications were LBW, followed by hypoglycemia and jaundice. The most common maternal complication was preterm delivery followed by recurrent UTI and gestational hypertension.
