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

Many physiological changes accompany pregnancy, most of them involving metabolic perturbations. Alterations in microbiota composition occur both before and during pregnancy and have recently been correlated with an important role in the development of metabolic complications, such as insulin resistance and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). These changes may be influenced by physiological adaptations to pregnancy itself, as well as by dietary modifications during gestation. Medical nutritional therapy (MNT) applied to pregnant women at risk stands out as one of the most important factors in increasing the microbiota's diversity at both the species and genus levels. In this review, we discuss the physiological changes during pregnancy and their impact on the composition of the intestinal microbiota, which may contribute to GDM. We also discuss findings from previous studies regarding the effectiveness of MNT in reducing insulin resistance. In the future, additional studies should aim to identify specific gut microbial profiles that serve as early indicators of insulin resistance during gestation. Early diagnosis, achievable through stool analysis or metabolite profiling, may facilitate the timely implementation of dietary or pharmaceutical modifications, thereby mitigating the development of insulin resistance and its associated sequelae.
