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

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common pregnancy complications which exerts detrimental effects on mothers and children. Emerging evidence has pointed to the important role of the fatty acid transporter protein CD36 in the pathogenesis of GDM. As a heavily glycosylated transmembrane protein, CD36 is widely expressed in diverse cell types, including placental trophoblasts, monocytes/macrophages, adipocytes, and pancreatic cells et al. CD36 plays a key role in lipid metabolism and signal transduction in the pathophysiological mechanism of GDM. The modified expression and functionality of CD36 may contribute to inflammation and oxidative stress in maternal tissues, interfere with insulin signaling, and subsequently influence maternal insulin sensitivity and fetal growth, increasing the risk for GDM. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge regarding the expression and function of CD36 in various tissues throughout pregnancy and explores how CD36 dysregulation can activate inflammatory pathways, worsen insulin resistance, and disrupt lipid metabolism, thereby complicating the necessary metabolic adjustments during pregnancy. Furthermore, the review delves into emerging therapeutic approaches targeting CD36 signaling to alleviate the impacts of GDM. Understanding the involvement of CD36 in GDM could yield crucial insights into its mechanisms and potential interventions for enhancing maternal and fetal health outcomes.
