Impact of parity on gestational diabetes mellitus in Chinese women: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has risen significantly in recent years, yet the association between parity and GDM remains poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of parity on GDM while exploring other contributing factors.
methodsWe performed a population-based retrospective cohort study using data from women who delivered in Baoan District, Shenzhen, from January 2019 to December 2023. GDM was diagnosed through oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT). Multivariable logistic regression models were applied to examine parity-GDM associations.
resultsA total of 198,237 women (including 89,792 primiparae and 108,445 multiparae) were included. Higher parity was found to be inversely associated with the development of GDM (OR [95%CI]: 0.92 [0.87-0.96] for parity = 1, OR [95%CI]: 0.83 [0.77-0.90] for parity ≥ 2). Further, stratified analyses revealed that this association was more significant in women under 30 years of age (P
conclusionsThe present findings revealed that women with higher parity had a lower probability of GDM, particularly among younger women. These results suggest that clinicians implement enhanced glycemic monitoring for nulliparous women of advanced maternal age. When promoting desired family size, emphasizing childbearing during earlier reproductive years may reduce GDM risk profiles.
