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

This study evaluates the effectiveness of nursing management strategies incorporating personalized nutritional intervention compared to standard care protocols in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), specifically examining maternal glycemic control, pregnancy complications, and neonatal outcomes. This retrospective comparative study included a total of 242 pregnant women diagnosed with GDM. The patients were divided into a control group receiving standard nursing care and an observational group receiving comprehensive nursing care with intensive, personalized nutritional intervention. Outcomes compared between groups included glycemic control parameters (fasting plasma glucose, 2-hour postprandial glucose, glycated hemoglobin levels, insulin requirements), psychological assessments (self-management capacity and pregnancy-related anxiety), maternal pregnancy complications, and neonatal outcomes (birth weight, macrosomia, hypoglycemia, NICU admission rates). Both groups showed comparable baseline characteristics (all P > .05). The observational group demonstrated significantly improved glycemic control with lower fasting plasma glucose, 2-hour postprandial glucose, and glycated hemoglobin levels at 32 weeks and 36 to 38 weeks gestation (all P < .001). Insulin requirement was significantly reduced in the observational group (P < .01). Self-management capacity improved and pregnancy-related anxiety decreased significantly in the observational group (P < .05). Maternal pregnancy complications were significantly reduced (P < .01), and neonatal outcomes including birth weight, macrosomia rates, hypoglycemia, and NICU admission showed significant improvements (all P < .05). Comprehensive nursing management incorporating personalized nutritional intervention significantly improves glycemic control, reduces maternal complications, and enhances neonatal outcomes in GDM patients compared to standard care protocols.
