Body Roundness Index and Risk of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Women of Reproductive Age: NHANES 2007-2018.
Article in International journal of women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is closely related to obesity. This study investigated whether Body Roundness Index (BRI) is independently associated with GDM and compared its discriminative performance with BMI. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from the 2007-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The study included 3,343 women aged 20-44 years who had available data on BRI and GDM. Weighted logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were used to examine the association between BRI and GDM. Subgroup and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed to evaluate discriminative performance. Results: Among the 3,343 women, 377 (11.3%) reported GDM. Adjusted weighted multivariate logistic regression showed a 39% increase in GDM risk per BRI unit rise (OR = 1.39; 95% CI: 1.19-1.62; Conclusion: This study demonstrates that elevated BRI is independently associated with GDM risk among US reproductive-aged women and shows superior discriminative performance to BMI. These findings highlight the potential value of BRI as an anthropometric indicator associated with GDM risk.
