Ophthalmic Changes in the Offspring of Pregnant Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus or Diabetes Mellitus - A Systematic Review.
Review in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 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
Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects 5.8% to 25.1% of pregnant women and is associated with a range of adverse perinatal outcomes, including intrauterine growth restriction, prematurity, neonatal respiratory distress, and adiposity. Offspring of mothers with GDM or diabetes mellitus (DM) are also at elevated risk for long-term metabolic complications, such as obesity, dyslipidemia, and type 2 DM. While systemic and structural anomalies-including congenital heart disease, skeletal malformations, and renal agenesis-have been well documented, limited attention has been paid to ophthalmic consequences. Accordingly, this study aims to summarize current evidence on the impact of maternal GDM/DM on the ocular development and long-term visual outcomes in offspring. Methods: A review was conducted, integrating findings from studies describing ocular abnormalities in offspring born to mothers with GDM/DM. Results: GDM/DM during pregnancy may contribute to a spectrum of ocular anomalies in offspring, including hypoplasia of the iris stroma, vascular tortuosity and dilation of the iris vessels, optic nerve hypoplasia, decreased macular thickness and volume, and an increased risk of long-term ophthalmic morbidity such as refractive errors. Conclusion: Given the range of potential ophthalmic abnormalities in offspring of mothers with GDM/DM, regular ocular screening and long-term follow-up are recommended. Further research is warranted to better understand the underlying mechanisms and to develop evidence-based screening protocols.
