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

Leptin and visfatin are adipokines involved in metabolic regulation and fetal development, but their associations with maternal gestational diabetes mellitus and neonatal growth remain incompletely understood. This study investigated the relationships between umbilical cord blood leptin and visfatin concentrations, maternal GDM status, and neonatal anthropometric characteristics. Umbilical cord blood samples from 88 neonates were analyzed for leptin and visfatin concentrations using ELISA. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics v.32. Cord blood leptin concentration was significantly higher in neonates born to mothers with GDM than in those born to mothers without GDM (median [IQR]: 2.22 [1.09] vs. 1.50 [0.77] ng/mL;
