Subclinical Cardiac Dysfunction in Women With Prior Gestational Diabetes: The Hispanic Community Study/Study of Latinos.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundGestational diabetes (GD) is associated with heart failure risk. However, the association of GD and postpartum early stages of myocardial dysfunction (a robust predictor of heart failure) as assessed by imaging has seldom been examined, especially among Hispanic women, who represent the fastest-growing ethnic minority population and have the highest prevalence of GD in US women.
methodsWe examined Hispanic women recruited to the Hispanic Community Study/Study of Latinos cohort, who reported at least 1 prior pregnancy and GD history at either visit 1 (2008-2011) or visit 2 (2014-2017) and echocardiographic assessments at visit 2. We used multivariable linear and logistic regression models to evaluate the associations between GD history and echocardiographic parameters.
resultsAmong 2894 participants (mean age 53±9 years), 9.3% (n=270) had a GD history. After adjusting for cardiovascular disease risk factors, including current diabetes status, Hispanic women with GD history had higher mean adjusted left ventricular relative wall thickness (β=0.01 [95% CI, 0.00-0.02]), lateral peak early mitral inflow velocity to early diastolic velocity of the mitral annulus ratio (β=0.49 [95% CI, 0.09-0.89]), abnormal left ventricular diastolic function (adjusted odds ratio, 1.41 [95% CI, 1.04-1.91]), and lower mean adjusted left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (β=-0.07 [95% CI, -0.12 to -0.02]) compared with those without prior GD history. Similar associations were observed in results stratified by the most recent glycemic status.
conclusionsHistory of GD was associated with a higher frequency and severity of myocardial diastolic abnormalities. Echocardiographic-based screening for myocardial dysfunction in women with GD history has the potential to help avert overt cardiovascular disease in this high-risk population.
