Maternal Determinants of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP): Spotlight on Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.
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
backgroundRetinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is increasingly recognized as one of the major causes of preventable blindness in India and other low- and middle-income countries, particularly affecting preterm infants. Identifying risk factors is crucial for early detection and prevention. Our study aims to reevaluate determinants of ROP among preterm and low birth weight neonates admitted to a tertiary care center in South India. Methodology: A retrospective observational study was conducted in the neonatal intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital, including preterm neonates with gestational age <37 weeks and/or birth weight <2500 g. The total sample size was 100, and the study was conducted over three months. Univariate analysis was performed to evaluate the associations between individual variables.
resultsROP was observed in 29% of enrolled neonates, with significant associations identified between ROP and gestational age (p = 0.03), birth weight (p = 0.01), maternal gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) (p = 0.03), neonatal apnea (p = 0.02), and oxygen therapy (p = 0.03). These findings highlight the substantial burden of ROP and its association with modifiable and non-modifiable factors. Additionally, the study suggests a potential emerging role of GDM as a risk factor for ROP.
