A study on the correlation among sleep quality in pregnant women, type 2 diabetes risk scores based on FINDRISC, and pregnancy-related anxiety.

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
backgroundPregnancy-related anxiety is a common mental health issue during pregnancy, affecting at least 10% of expectant mothers. Although psychological and social factors are considered as one of the contributing factors for such situations, the potential association between the risk of type 2 diabetes and pregnancy-related anxiety has not been fully investigated. This study aims to explore the associations among sleep quality, type 2 diabetes risk scores (based on FINDRISC), and pregnancy-related anxiety in pregnant women.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted from March to December 2024 using convenience sampling to survey 469 pregnant women at a tertiary hospital in Jinzhou City. Data collection utilized demographic data questionnaires, the Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire (PRAQ), the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The relationships among the variables were analyzed using SPSS 27.0 and AMOS software.
resultsThe mean ± SD scores for type 2 diabetes risk, sleep quality, and pregnancy-related anxiety were 9.047 ± 7.410, 7.719 ± 5.066, and 31.508 ± 8.170, respectively. Significant differences in pregnancy-related anxiety scores were observed across age groups, gestational weeks, parity, and history of adverse pregnancy and childbirth (all P < 0.05). Higher PSQI scores, indicating greater sleep disturbance, were positively associated with type 2 diabetes risk scores (r = 0.423, P < 0.01) and pregnancy-related anxiety (r = 0.340, P < 0.01). Sleep quality partially mediated the association between type 2 diabetes risk scores and pregnancy-related anxiety (indirect effect β = 0.103, 95% CI [0.057, 0.162]).
conclusionThese findings suggest that screening for type 2 diabetes risk, assessment of sleep quality, and monitoring of pregnancy-related anxiety may be integrated in clinical practice, as these factors may contribute to a comprehensive evaluation of the physical and mental health of pregnant women.
