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
introductionGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is closely related to insulin resistance (IR) and is usually diagnosed in mid-pregnancy, limiting opportunities for early risk identification. We evaluated six simple first-trimester IR indices—triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), triglyceride-glucose–body mass index (TyG-BMI), triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-C), metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR), Zhejiang University index (ZJU), and hepatic steatosis index (HSI)—for predicting GDM and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) glucose levels.
methodsIn this retrospective study of 2122 Chinese pregnant women, GDM was diagnosed using a 75-g OGTT at 24–28 weeks. Fasting blood samples in early pregnancy were used to calculate IR indices. Logistic regression assessed associations with GDM and OGTT results; ROC analyses evaluated predictive performance.
resultsAll indices were positively associated with GDM and OGTT measures, except HSI, which correlated with fasting and 1-hour glucose only. TyG-BMI showed the best discrimination for GDM (AUC 0.65; 95% CI 0.617–0.683), and METS-IR performed best for fasting glucose (AUC 0.736). Indices generally predicted fasting glucose more accurately than postprandial glucose or overall GDM. Associations were linear and consistent across subgroups.
conclusionsFirst-trimester TyG, TyG-BMI, TG/HDL-C, METS-IR, ZJU, and HSI are independent predictors of GDM and correlate with OGTT glucose, particularly fasting glucose.
