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

Maternal diabetes, encompassing gestational diabetes mellitus and pre-existing type 1 and type 2 diabetes are associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. Emerging evidence suggests that maternal hyperglycemia and insulin resistance may be associated with long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes, particularly increasing the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This review synthesizes current epidemiological and mechanistic evidence linking maternal diabetes with the incidence of ASD and ADHD in offspring. Large population-based cohort studies consistently demonstrate an elevated risk of ASD and ADHD among children exposed to maternal diabetes
