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

Introduction: Women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have an increased risk of undergoing cesarean section (CS). This study aimed to identify factors associated with CS in women with GDM. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted on patients with GDM who delivered at Hainan General Hospital between January 2021 and June 2023. The patients were grouped by delivery type: CS vs. vaginal. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify the factors associated with CS. Results: Of the 1689 women with GDM, 731 had CS. Logistic regression revealed that CS was independently associated with maternal age (OR: 1.07, 95% CI: 1.04-1.10, p < 0.001), pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) (OR: 1.05, 95% CI: 1.02-1.08, p = 0.003), and education level (high school education: OR: 1.53, 95% CI: 1.08-2.17, p = 0.018; bachelor's degree or higher: OR: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.13-2.23, p = 0.008). The most significant associated perinatal factor was cephalopelvic disproportion (including breech presentation or other abnormal fetal positions) (OR: 12.31, 95% CI: 1.46-104.11, p = 0.021). The absence of a past medical history of heart disease (OR: 0.26, 95% CI: 0.07-0.859, p = 0.031) was inversely independently associated with CS. Conclusion: Higher maternal age, elevated BMI, higher education, specific perinatal diagnoses, and the presence of a history of heart disease were independently associated with CS in women with GDM.
