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

Aim: To examine whether individual-level measures of socioeconomic or mental health disadvantages are associated with preterm delivery and extreme large for gestational age (eLGA) among women with type 1 diabetes. Methods: Nationwide register-based study of singleton pregnancies among women with type 1 diabetes, 1997-2021. Disadvantages included family poverty (disposable income <50% of national median) and, for either parent, low educational level (≤primary school), unemployment (cash/disability benefits), or poor mental health (≥1 prepregnancy psychiatric diagnosis). Outcomes were preterm delivery (<37 weeks) and eLGA (birthweight ≥97.5th percentile). We estimated absolute risk (AR) and crude and adjusted relative risks (aRR), adjusting for parental immigration status and maternal birth year. Sensitivity analyses were stratified by prepregnancy HbA1c (<53/≥53 mmol/mol). Results: Among 5478 pregnancies, AR of preterm delivery and eLGA were 32.5% and 36.0%, respectively, and 40.1% experienced ≥1 disadvantage, ranging from 5.6% having family poverty to 18.9% having low paternal educational level. Higher aRRs of preterm delivery were found across all measures of disadvantage, ranging from 1.23 (1.00;1.45) to 1.48 (1.28;1.68). We observed a non-significant trend toward lower risk of eLGA with all disadvantages (aRRs ranging from 0.82 (0.64;1.00) to 1.01 (0.84;1.18)). Stratification by prepregnancy HbA1c showed basically unchanged aRRs but widened confidence intervals. Conclusion: Among women with type 1 diabetes, socioeconomic or mental health disadvantages were associated with higher risk of preterm delivery, but not eLGA, regardless of prepregnancy HbA1c level. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to address social and mental health disparities in order to reduce preterm birth risk among women with type 1 diabetes.
