Maternal Preconception Body Mass Index Overtakes Age as a Risk Factor for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

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
Introduction-The purpose of this study was to determine the relative impact of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors in the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), with a particular focus on maternal preconception body mass index (BMI) and age, two important determinants of insulin resistance. Understanding the factors that contribute most to the current escalation of GDM rates in pregnant women could help to inform prevention and intervention strategies, particularly in areas where this female endocrine disorder has an elevated prevalence. Methods-A retrospective, contemporary, large population of singleton pregnant women from southern Italy who underwent 75 g OGTT for GDM screening was enrolled at the Endocrinology Unit, "Pugliese Ciaccio" Hospital, Catanzaro. Relevant clinical data were collected, and the characteristics of women diagnosed with GDM or with normal glucose tolerance were compared. The effect estimates of maternal preconception BMI and age as risk factors for GDM development were calculated through correlation and logistic regression analysis by adjusting for potential confounders. Results-Out of the 3856 women enrolled, 885 (23.0%) were diagnosed with GDM as per IADPSG criteria. Advanced maternal age (≥35 years), gravidity, reproductive history of spontaneous abortion(s), previous GDM, and thyroid and thrombophilic diseases, all emerged as non-modifiable risk factors of GDM, whereas preconception overweight or obesity was the sole potentially modifiable risk factor among those investigated. Maternal preconception BMI, but not age, had a moderate positive association with fasting glucose levels at the time of 75 g OGTT (Pearson coefficient: 0.245,
