1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is closely associated with adverse fetal outcomes. Maternal underweight is associated with low birth weight (LBW) and small for gestational age (SGA). Despite the high proportion of underweight women with GDM in Asian populations, evidence on the association between underweight and the risk of LBW or SGA in GDM is limited and inconsistent. The aim of this study is to investigate this issue in Japanese women with GDM. We enrolled 641 women with GDM at the Hamamatsu University Hospital. Data on maternal body mass index (BMI), and fetal birth weight (including LBW and SGA) were collected from medical records. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate crude odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between underweight and fetal birth weight. At pre-pregnancy, the prevalences of underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m
