Relationship between lipid profiles and glycemic control in gestational diabetes mellitus women.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2026. 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
backgroundGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a prevalent pregnancy complication, can adversely impact both maternal and neonatal health post-delivery due to poor glycemic control. Although numerous studies highlight the close association between blood lipids and GDM, the specific correlation between lipid profiles and the prognosis of GDM remains ambiguous.
methodsThis study was conducted at the Women and Children's Hospital of Ningbo University, with data collected between December 2017 and December 2018. A total of 841 GDM participants were categorized into good glycemic control (GGC, N = 524) and poor glycemic control (PGC, N = 317) groups based on ACOG and ADA criteria. Blood lipid indices were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, with further stratification by maternal age, parity, and pre-pregnancy BMI.
resultsIn the third trimester, the PGC group exhibited significantly lower levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that a 1 mmol/L increase in HDL-c during late pregnancy reduced the risk of PGC by 54% (OR = 0.46, 95% CI = 0.24-0.89), while a higher triglyceride (TG)/HDL-c ratio increased the risk by 23% (OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.02-1.48). Stratified analysis confirmed that among women aged ≤ 35 years, multiparas, and those who were overweight or obese, higher HDL-c served as a protective factor, whereas a greater TG/HDL-c ratio posed a significant risk.
conclusionThese findings underscore the critical role of blood lipid metabolism in maintaining glycemic control in GDM, particularly in high-risk populations, such as multiparas and overweight/obese women.
