Increasing Risk of Gestational Diabetes in an Ethnocultural Minority of Canada.
Article in Journal of immigrant and minority health, 2025. 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
We investigated whether ethnocultural inequality in rates of gestational diabetes was prevalent in Canada. We compared the Anglophone minority with the Francophone majority in Quebec. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 853,595 pregnancies between 2008 and 2020 in Quebec, Canada. The exposure was ethnocultural status, with patients classified as either Anglophone or Francophone based on the maternal language. The outcome was gestational diabetes. We calculated risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association between ethnocultural status and risk of gestational diabetes using log-binomial regression models adjusted for maternal age, parity, comorbidity, education, country of origin, material deprivation, urban residence, and time period. Anglophones had a higher rate of gestational diabetes compared with Francophones (99.0 vs 81.0 per 1000 pregnancies; RR 1.07, 95% CI 1.05-1.10). Anglophones aged less than 25 years (RR 1.31, 95% CI 1.21-1.41), living in rural areas (RR 1.73, 95% CI 1.64-1.82), lacking a high school diploma (RR 1.48, 95% CI 1.37-1.61), or with material disadvantage (RR 1.33, 95% CI 1.27-1.39) had greater risks of gestational diabetes compared with Francophones. Risk of gestational diabetes among Anglophones increased over time, especially among disadvantaged subgroups of the population. The findings suggest that the Anglophone ethnocultural minority in Quebec has an increasing risk of gestational diabetes over time compared with the Francophone majority. Risks are particularly elevated for Anglophones from disadvantaged subgroups of the population.
