Racial/Ethnic Differences in Gestational Diabetes and Its Association with Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes among Women in Hawai'i.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 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
objectivesTo assess racial/ethnic differences in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) prevalence in Hawai'i.
methodsThis retrospective cross-sectional study included hospital deliveries at Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children (Honolulu, Hawai'i) from 2009 to 2019. For birthing people with multiple deliveries during the study interval, only the last delivery was included. Birthing people with pregestational diabetes, delivery < 29 weeks, and multifetal gestations were excluded. GDM was identified through ICD-9 and -1 0 codes. Race and ethnicity were self-reported. Maternal body mass index (BMI) was recorded at delivery admission. GDM prevalence was determined for each race and the odds examined using logistic regression, also adjusting for maternal age and BMI. For analysis, three racial groups were sub-grouped into six ethnic categories as described: the three major racial groups were: (i) Asian, (ii) Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and (iii) White. Six major ethnic sub-categories in the Asian racial group included: East Asians-identified as (1) Chinese/Taiwanese, (2) Japanese/Okinawan, (3) South East Asians identified as Filipino, (4) Native Hawaiian and (5) Pacific Islander identified as Micronesian/Samoan, and (6) White.
resultsOf 57,031 deliveries, 31,663 were included in this study. Overall crude prevalence of GDM was estimated at 11.7%. The three Asian ethnic sub-categories had approximately twice the risk of GDM when compared to Whites (Filipina: OR 2.59, 95% CI = [2.27-2.96], Chinese/Taiwanese: OR = 2.38, 95% CI = [2.01-2.82], and Japanese/Okinawan: OR = 1.71, 95% CI = [1.47-1.99]). Native Hawaiians also had higher GDM prevalence estimates compared to Whites (OR = 1.50, 95% CI = [1.31-1.71]), though there was no significant difference for Pacific Islanders (OR = 1.14, 95% CI = [0.97-1.33]).
conclusionsPrevalence of GDM in hospitalized deliveries in Hawai'i's multi-ethnic population of women has increased nearly 2-fold in the last two decades. All Asian Americans remain at highest risk despite lower maternal BMI at delivery. NH women are younger yet have similar frequency of co-morbidities and comprise the largest proportion of GDM cases overall.
