Social Support and Physical Activity in Pregnant Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Exploring the Mediating Role of Fear of Falling.
Article in Nursing open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
aimThis study aims to ascertain whether social support exerts an indirect influence on physical activity through the mediation of fear of falling in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
designA questionnaire-based, descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted.
methodsA total of 385 participants were collected from May to August 2023 from a tertiary maternity hospital in China using a convenience sampling method. Measures included the Social Resource Support Scale for Pregnant Women with Gestational Diabetes, Chinese translations of the Falls Efficacy Scale International, and the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire.
resultsBoth social support and fear of falling were significantly correlated with physical activity. The indirect effect of social support on physical activity through the fear of falling was positive, accounting for 62.40% of the total effect. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: A total of 385 pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus were invited to complete the questionnaire.
