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

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a prevalent pregnancy complication influenced by pre-pregnancy overweight or obese and high gestational weight gain (GWG). This study investigated the impact of body mass index (BMI)-related genetic variants on GWG and GDM risk among Taiwanese women. A case-control study of 3875 pregnant women included 3162 with GDM based on oral glucose tolerance tests and 2483 with GWG data. A genome-wide association study of 71,848 women identified BMI related genetic variants, and a polygenic risk score for BMI (PRS_BMI) was calculated. PRS_BMI was positively associated with GWG (R² = 0.010, P < 0.001). The odds ratio (ORs) for high GWG and GDM per standard deviation increase in PRS_BMI were 2.28 (95% CI = 2.03-2.55, P < 0.001) and 1.34 (95% CI = 1.24-1.45, P < 0.001), respectively. Stratified analyses indicated stronger associations in women with BMI < 25 kg/m², while weaker associations were observed in those with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m². These findings suggest PRS_BMI could be used to identify women at higher risk for excessive GWG and GDM, aiding in early monitoring and targeted risk-reduction strategies.
