Unique Ultrastructural Alterations in the Placenta Associated With Macrosomia Induced by Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

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
Objective: To investigate the morphological and ultrastructural alterations in placentas from pregnancies with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)-induced macrosomia, term nondiabetic macrosomia, and normal pregnancies. Methods: Sixty full-term placentas were collected, and clinical data along with informed consent were obtained from pregnant women who underwent regular visit checks and delivered their newborns in Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital between May and December 2022. Placentas were divided into three equal groups: normal pregnancy (control group), nondiabetic macrosomia group, and macrosomia complicated with GDM (diabetic macrosomia) group. Gross morphological data of placentas were recorded, and placental samples were processed for examination of ultrastructural and stereological changes using transmission electron microscopy. Analysis of variance and chi-squared test were used to examine the differences among the three groups for continuous and categorical variables, respectively. Results: The baseline characteristics of mothers and neonates did not differ across the three groups, except for a significantly higher birth weight in the diabetic macrosomia group (4172.00 ± 151.20 g Conclusion: Significant ultrastructural and stereological alterations were discovered in the placentas from pregnant women with macrosomia induced by GDM. These alterations may be the response of the placenta to the hyperglycemia condition encountered during pregnancies complicated with GDM.
