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

aimsGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) plays a critical role in mitochondrial function, affecting cellular oxidative phosphorylation and ATP supply. This study aims to explore the association between mtDNA variations and GDM in Han Chinese women.

methodsThis nested case-control study was conducted among 701 women who developed GDM and 859 contemporaneous controls based on the Chinese Birth Cohort of Environmental and Genetic Factors between 2018 and 2022. Next-generation sequencing was performed on the samples to detect variations in the whole mitochondrial genome. The sequencing data were analyzed, and the differences in the number of mtDNA variations between the two groups were assessed using a t-test. Haplogroup analysis was conducted through the chi-square test. Logistic regression analysis was performed, adjusting for age, BMI, gravidity, and parity, to identify significantly different mtDNA variations between the two groups.

resultsPregnant women with GDM carried fewer mtDNA variants in the D-loop region (11.35 ± 2.77 vs. 11.80 ± 2.86, p = 0.002). Results indicated that m.73A>G (OR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.28-0.77, p = 0.003), m.185G>A (OR: 0.41, 95% CI: 0.18-0.92, p = 0.030), m.16051A>G (OR: 0.24, 95% CI: 0.07-0.84, p = 0.026), m.16092T>A (OR: 9.21, 95% CI: 1.11-76.42, p = 0.040) and m.16291C>T (OR: 2.35, 95% CI: 1.29-4.28, p = 0.005) in the D-loop region and m.6228C>T (OR: 9.41, 95% CI: 1.14-77.59, p = 0.037) in MT-CO1 gene were found to be significantly different between GDM cases and the controls.

conclusionsThis study revealed an association between mtDNA variations and GDM, highlighting the potential that screening for specific mtDNA variants in early pregnancy may predict the development of GDM.
