1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: To examine the ability of the fatty liver index (FLI) in early pregnancy to predict the risk of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). Methods: A total of 1,004 women underwent metabolism characterization at weeks 8-12 of gestation and a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at weeks 24-28 of gestation. The participants were divided into the normal glucose tolerance (NGT, n = 816) and GDM (n = 188) groups according to the OGTT results. Pregnant women were divided into three tertiles according to their FLI scores in early pregnancy. Multivariable regression analysis was performed to estimate the independent relationship between FLI and GDM. Results: The FLI values of the GDM and NGT groups were 8.47 (5.26, 13.41) and 6.10 (3.90, 10.41), the differences were significant ( Conclusion: The early pregnancy FLI is an independent risk factor for GDM. A high FLI is predictive of GDM risk.
