Risk of Developing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in South Asian Women with History of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Article in Indian journal of endocrinology and metabolism. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represent two different components of the spectrum of diabetes mellitus (DM). Women with GDM have a high chance of developing T2DM in later life and this relative risk depends on a number of factors including ethnicity.
aimTo compare and estimate the risk of developing T2DM in South Asian women with a history of GDM compared to those without a history of GDM.
methodsThis is a systematic review of PubMed and MEDLINE articles reporting the progression of GDM to T2DM that were published in English from 2000 to 2020. We performed meta-analysis to calculate risk ratios (RR).
resultsWe selected 6 studies considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria after sorting 25 full-text articles. Of the 44165 South Asian women assessed, 3095 had GDM and 41070 were without GDM. 995 women in GDM group and 1525 women in non-GDM group had developed T2DM. The RR of women with GDM over non-GDM in developing T2DM was 10.81 (95% confidence interval (CI): 7.61-15.35) suggesting that women with GDM are at 10.81 times more risk of developing T2DM than non-GDM. The cumulative incidence of T2DM in GDM group was 17.34% at 5 years of follow-up and 33% at more than 10 years of follow-up.
conclusionThe risk of developing T2DM in later life is higher in South Asian women with GDM than without GDM. Therefore, lifestyle and pharmacological interventions, patient communication, timely screening, and long-term follow-up of GDM patients are important to reduce the risk.
