Evaluating Serum Endosialin (CD248) Levels as a Diagnostic Marker in Gestational Diabetes: A Case-Control Study.
Article in Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies, 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
Objectives: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a pregnancy-induced hyperglycemia, affects approximately 17% of pregnancies globally. Its pathophysiology remains unclear, with inflammation and vascular remodeling playing key roles. CD248, a glycoprotein linked to inflammation and vascular remodeling, has been implicated in various conditions, but its role in GDM is uncertain. Methodology: A prospective case-control study was conducted with 169 pregnant women aged 18 to 49 at a tertiary hospital. Serum CD248 levels were assessed at 24 to 28 weeks of gestation prior to the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Statistical analyses evaluated the association between CD248 levels, BMI and GDM status. Results: Of the participants, 32 (18.9%) were diagnosed with GDM. CD248 levels were lower in GDM patients (8.15 ± 10.16 ng/mL) than in controls (11.42 ± 15.44 ng/mL), but the difference was not statistically significant ( Conclusion: Unlike earlier findings associating elevated CD248 levels with early pregnancy GDM risk, this study found no significant relationship during later gestational stages. These results highlight a potentially complex and context-dependent role for CD248 in GDM pathophysiology.
