Determinants of Poor Glycemic Control among Malaysian Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.
Article in International journal of preventive medicine, 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
Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with short- and long-term complications for mothers and offspring. However, information regarding poor glycemic control is still limited in Malaysia. This study aimed to determine self-efficacy, self-care, and physical activity levels, as well as factors, associated with poor glycemic control among women with GDM. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among women with GDM in Northern Terengganu, Malaysia. Stratified sampling proportional to the population size was used to obtain 238 samples. Logistic regression was applied to determine associations between factors and poor glycemic control. Results: The mean (SD) scores for overall self-efficacy and self-care were 147.00 (23.94) and 3.55 (0.74), respectively. The median (IQR) for overall physical activity was 137.38 (111.91). Dietetic counseling (AOR = 2.95; 95% CI: 1.41, 6.17; Conclusions: Comprehensive health education focusing on managing glycemic control can enhance individuals' self-efficacy, empowering them to effectively perform diabetes self-care activities, which subsequently reduces short- and long-term complications.
