Risk factors for postpartum prediabetes and type 2 diabetes in women with gestational diabetes: insights from the edugest study in Argentina.
Observational study in Endocrine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo describe postpartum glycemic status in a cohort of women with Gestational diabetes (GD) from the EDUGEST (Education in women with GD) study, and to determine factors associated with a diagnosis of prediabetes or T2D.
methodsThis observational, analytical study analyzed records of pregnant women with GD recruited in the framework of the EDUGEST study. Data from QUALIDAB-GEST were analyzed for patients who completed postpartum glycemic assessment at six weeks. Information included concurrent cardiovascular risk factors, obstetric history in previous pregnancies, clinical and metabolic indicators, treatments, and postpartum screening results. Descriptive analyses were performed using means ± standard deviation (SD), medians with interquartile ranges [IQR], or proportions, as appropriate. Differences were tested using parametric and non-parametric tests. Regression models assessed factors associated with prediabetes or T2D development postpartum.
resultsThe analysis included 573 patients (median age: 31 [26-36] years; median gestational age at the first specialty visit after GD diagnosis: 28 [26-32] weeks; BMI: 31.2 [26.7-34.9]). Postpartum screening showed 76.3% normal results, 19.5% prediabetes, and 4.2% T2D. T2D was significantly associated with insulin use during pregnancy (OR: 4.20) and family history of diabetes (OR: 3.21), while prediabetes was associated with hypertension (OR: 2.39), insulin use during pregnancy (OR: 1.62), BMI al the first specialty visit (OR: 1.05), and fructosamine levels (OR: 1.01).
conclusionThis study identified locally relevant parameters associated with postpartum prediabetes and T2D in women with GD, highlighting the importance of early identification of high-risk patients and the role of postpartum glycemic assessment for timely diagnosis.
