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

objectiveGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) poses significant health risks during pregnancy, with dietary adherence being crucial for effective management. This study aims to identify factors influencing dietary compliance to enhance patient outcome.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study analyzed 189 GDM patients from Wuhan Children's Hospital between January 2021 and June 2023. The patients were categorized into good and poor dietary adherence groups using the Perceived Dietary Adherence Questionnaire. Variables such as demographic data, disease duration, educational attainment, income, employment status, obstetric history, and dietary sources, were collected. Knowledge levels were evaluated using the Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Knowledge Questionnaire (GDMKQ), and social support was assessed by the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey.

resultsA multifactorial logistic regression model was developed to predict poor dietary compliance, and the risk factors included lower educational attainment (Coefficient: 1.249; Odds Ratio (OR): 3.487), lower income (Coefficient: 2.282; OR: 3.602), and takeout breakfasts (Coefficient: 0.838; OR: 2.311). Improved GDM knowledge (Coefficient: -0.344; OR: 0.709) and social support levels (Coefficient: -0.072; OR: 0.931), unemployment (Coefficient: -0.935; OR: 0.392), and obstetric history (Coefficient: -0.980; OR: 0.375) were protective factors against poor compliance. The multifactorial logistic regression model was formulated as follows:

conclusionThe study identified key demographic, behavioral, and social determinants affecting dietary compliance in GDM patients. Critical factors include education levels, household income, employment, breakfast source, GDM knowledge, and social support. These insights can inform interventions to enhance dietary adherence and optimize GDM management strategies in clinical settings. Our multifactorial logistic regression model displays high predictive accuracy and serves as a practical tool for assessing dietary compliance risks, facilitating personalized patient care.
