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

backgroundCardiometabolic index (CMI) is a novel marker of diabetes mellitus. However, few studies have examined its association with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk. This study aimed to explore the association between CMI and GDM risk among pregnant women in the United States.

methodsWe performed a cross-sectional study utilizing data recorded in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database from 1999 to 2018. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression, restricted cubic splines (RCS), sensitivity, and subgroup analyses were performed to clarify the relationship between CMI and GDM risk.

resultsA total of 710 pregnant women were recruited, among whom 113 were diagnosed with GDM based on established criteria. This population showed a significant association between a higher CMI value and GDM (odds ratio: 1.75, 95% confidence interval: 1.03-2.99, P = 0.038). RCS regression analysis identified a linear relationship between CMI and GDM (P-value < 0.001, P-nonlinear = 0.702). Sensitivity analysis further confirmed the validity of this relationship. Subgroup analysis indicated a positive association between CMI and GDM among women who drink or smoke and Mexican Americans.

conclusionThis study demonstrates a significant positive association between CMI and GDM risk, suggesting that a higher CMI predicts GDM incidence during pregnancy. Further research is required to investigate the CMI index as an early predictor of GDM.
