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
purpose of reviewIn this review, we summarize studies investigating genetics of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and glucose metabolism in pregnancy. We describe these studies in the context of the larger body of literature on type 2 diabetes (T2D) and glycemic trait genomics. RECENT
findingsWe reviewed 23 genetic association studies for GDM and performed a meta-analysis, which revealed variants at eight T2D loci significantly associated with GDM after the Bonferroni correction. These studies suggest that GDM and T2D share a number of genetic risk loci. Only two unbiased genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have successfully revealed genetic associations for GDM and related glycemic traits in pregnancy. A GWAS for GDM in Korean women identified two loci (near CDKAL1 and MTNR1B) known to be associated with T2D, though the association of the MTNR1B locus with GDM appears to be stronger than that for T2D. A multi-ethnic GWAS for glycemic traits in pregnancy identified two novel loci (near HKDC1 and BACE2) which appear to be associated with post-load glucose and fasting c-peptide specifically in pregnant women. There are ongoing efforts to use this genetic information, in the form of polygenic scores, to predict risk of GDM and postpartum T2D. The body of literature examining genetic associations with GDM is limited, especially when compared to the available literature on T2D and glycemic trait genomics. Additional genetic discovery for glucose metabolism in pregnant women will require larger pregnancy cohorts and international collaborative efforts. Studies on the clinical implications of these findings are also warranted.
