The Role of Social Support on Self-Management of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Qualitative Analysis.
Trial report in Journal of midwifery & women's health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionGiven the rising incidence and importance of treatment adherence for gestational diabetes (GDM), this study aimed to examine patient perspectives on social support's role in gestational diabetes (GDM) management during pregnancy and early postpartum.
methodsThis is an analysis of qualitative data collected during a feasibility randomized controlled trial of postpartum patient navigation for individuals with GDM. Participants completed semistructured interviews at 4 to 12 weeks postpartum on their experiences with GDM as well as facilitators and barriers to its management, including social support. Data were analyzed using the constant comparative method.
resultsOf 38 participants, 55% reported a family member or friend with a history of GDM, type 1, or type 2 diabetes mellitus. The analysis identified 4 themes: (1) communal support, (2) indirect GDM support (ie, removing logistical barriers to care), (3) direct GDM support, and (4) barriers of social support (eg, stigma), which impeded disease understanding. Participants identified communal support as a catalyst for lifestyle change and a source for advice and emotional support. Indirect support included transportation, childcare, and work accommodations. Direct support included providing healthy food, giving insulin shots, or providing accountability. DISCUSSION: Harnessing social support may be a key strategy to activate and sustain lifestyle and self-management skills in GDM and should be considered in intervention development.
