1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionFor the total population and for groups of non-immigrant and immigrant women, we examined the associations of maternal type 1 diabetes with adverse pregnancy outcomes among women who gave birth in Norway from 1999 to 2021. Further, we examined the associations between the two time periods 1999-2014 and 2015-2021 and adverse pregnancy outcomes, and whether these associations differed in women with or without type 1 diabetes. MATERIAL AND

methodsIn this nationwide population-based observational study, with data from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway and Statistics Norway 1999-2021, we used logistic regression to examine the associations between type 1 diabetes and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Moreover, differences in ORs for adverse pregnancy outcomes between those with and without type 1 diabetes were compared for the two time periods 1999-2014 and 2015-2021 using interaction analyses. Analyses were performed for the overall population, as well as separately for non-immigrant (n = 964 542) and immigrant women (n = 257 409).

resultsWomen with type 1 diabetes (non-immigrant women n = 5067 and immigrant women n = 619) had higher ORs for almost all adverse pregnancy outcomes (OR 1.41-11.04) compared to women without diabetes in the period 1999-2021. In the time period 2015-2021, compared to 1999-2014, women with type 1 diabetes had a notably reduced OR of congenital malformations compared to those without diabetes (p interaction: 0.006). Immigrant women with type 1 diabetes had a higher OR in 2015-2021 vs. 1999-2014 of having large for gestational age infants (p interaction: 0.003).

conclusionsWomen with type 1 diabetes had higher odds of most of the examined adverse pregnancy outcomes, though improvements were observed from 2015 to 2021 compared to 1999-2014, particularly a reduction in congenital malformations. In contrast, immigrants had higher odds of large for gestational age. These findings highlight the continued need for targeted interventions to reduce the burden of adverse outcomes in all women with type 1 diabetes.
