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: This study investigated the association between gestational weight gain based on the new weight gain curve adopted by the Brazilian Ministry of Health for pregnant women and the risk of developing Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted with 104 pregnant women-52 with GDM and 52 without-matched for age, self-reported skin color, pre-existing hypertension, and family history of type 2 diabetes. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 19.0. Categorical variables were analyzed using the Chi-square or Fisher's exact test, and continuous variables with the Student's t-test or Mann-Whitney U test. Two multivariate logistic regression models were applied: one using BMI and GWG as continuous variables and another using their categorical classifications. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated as exp(b), and models were adjusted for age, skin color, income, education, and family history of diabetes. A p-value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Women with GDM reported less physical activity before (26.9% vs. 46.2% p = 0.042) and during pregnancy (17.3% vs. 40.4% p = 0.009). Regarding pre-gestational nutritional status, women with GDM showed a higher prevalence of overweight (53.9% vs. 30.8%), while obesity was more frequent among women without GDM (40.4% vs. 26.9%), although these differences were not statistically significant (p = 0.059). Women with GDM had lower median gestational weight gain (4.5 kg vs. 8.0 kg, p < 0.001) and a higher proportion exceeded the recommended values (84.6% vs. 40.4%). Excessive GWG was significantly associated with GDM: each additional kilogram gained increased the odds of developing GDM by 28% (aOR 1.28; 95% CI: 1.12-1.47, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Excessive gestational weight gain was significantly associated with GDM, underscoring the importance of monitoring maternal weight gain to prevent complications.
