Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
introductionGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a major endocrine problem complicating pregnancy worldwide, and pregnancies complicated by GDM are associated with adverse birth outcomes. This study aimed to identify preconceptional risk factors and birth outcomes associated with GDM. METHODOLOGY: A hospital-based case-control study was conducted among antenatal mothers seeking routine antenatal care at selected maternity hospitals in Khurdha district, Odisha, India. The study comprised 143 women with GDM and 143 gestational age-matched controls. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and interviews. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS, version 21 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY).
resultsThe point prevalence of GDM in the study population was 9.9%. The preconceptional risk factors, such as preconception body mass index (BMI) (odds ratio (OR) = 3.01, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.78-5.09,
conclusionsIt was shown that maternal preconception lifestyle risk factors and poor obstetric factors were associated with GDM in the subsequent pregnancy and with unfavorable pregnancy-related outcomes. Preconception counseling, along with need-based appropriate management, is highly important for addressing modifiable risk factors and reducing unfavorable birth outcomes associated with GDM.
