Necrobiosis Lipoidica in Pregnancy Complicated by Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a rare chronic granulomatous skin disease that usually presents as well-defined, yellowish-brown atrophic plaques with telangiectasia on the lower extremities. Its pathogenesis is not fully understood, and it is commonly associated with diabetes mellitus. A 39-year-old gravida 4, para 3 woman at 36 + 5 weeks' gestation presented with painful, erythematous to yellow-brown atrophic plaques with mild telangiectasia on the lower limbs and lower abdomen. Her pregnancy was complicated by insulin-requiring gestational diabetes and late-onset pre-eclampsia. Lesions progressively enlarged and ulcerated over several weeks and were later confirmed as NL. She was admitted for optimization of maternal glycemic and blood pressure control and underwent induction of labor, with favorable maternal and fetal outcomes. NL during pregnancy is exceedingly uncommon, and its clinical features may mimic pregnancy-specific dermatoses, often delaying diagnosis. We report a case of NL in late pregnancy associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), highlighting an atypical prenatal presentation. This case highlights the atypical prenatal presentation of NL associated with GDM and the diagnostic challenges of pregnancy-related dermatoses. Recognizing NL in pregnant women with atypical or ulcerative plaques is crucial, and glycemic optimization, along with multidisciplinary management, supports favorable maternal and dermatologic outcomes.
