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
Purpose: To investigate postpartum weight retention (PPWR) in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during the early postpartum period and to identify its key determinants. Patients and Methods: This study enrolled 342 women with GDM who delivered at Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital between January 2024 and June 2025. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational weight gain (GWG), and postpartum weight were collected using questionnaires and telephone follow-ups at 42 days and 3 months postpartum. Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) models were applied to examine factors influencing PPWR. Results: Mean PPWR at 42 days and 3 months postpartum was 5.09 ± 4.55 kg and 4.12 ± 4.17 kg, respectively. GEE analysis showed that postpartum time, monthly household income per capita, pre-pregnancy BMI, GWG, and parity significantly influenced PPWR (all Conclusion: Women with GDM experience significant PPWR in the early postpartum period, although weight retention decreases over time. GWG, pre-pregnancy BMI, household economic status, and parity are major determinants of early PPWR. Targeted weight management interventions should prioritize women with low income, pre-pregnancy underweight, and primiparity, with interventions initiated during pregnancy to reduce long-term metabolic risk.
