Associations Between Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Neonatal Acyl Metabolic Profiles: An Empirical Study Based on a Birth Cohort.
Article in Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy, 2026. 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
Aim: This study aimed to identify gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)-associated neonatal acylcarnitines (ACs), assess maternal glycemic control's impact on these ACs, and evaluate maternal lipids' mediating role, supporting early metabolic risk stratification in offspring. Methods: Tandem mass spectrometry (TMS) measured AC levels in 4,974 newborns (836 GDMs,4,138 controls). Generalized linear models assessed GDM-neonatal AC associations. Non-parametric tests assessed differences among no-GDM (2769), well-controlled GDM (129), and suboptimally controlled GDM groups (425). Mediation analysis identified factors affecting neonatal ACs. Maternal clinical data were extracted from the electronic medical record (EMR) system. Results: Of the 31 acylcarnitine species, 19 were significantly associated with GDM. Relative to the control group, 18 ACs exhibited significantly elevated levels, specifically malonylcarnitine+3-hydroxybutyrylcarnitine (C3DC+C4OH), isovalerylcarnitine+methylbutyrylcarnitine (C5), glutarylcarnitine+3-hydroxyhexanoylcarnitine (C5DC+C6OH), hexanoylcarnitine (C6), methylglutarylcarnitine (C6DC), decanoylcarnitine (C10), decenoylcarnitine (C10:1), dodecanoylcarnitine (C12), dodecenoylcarnitine (C12:1), tetradecanoylcarnitine (C14), tetradecenoylcarnitine (C14:1), palmitoylcarnitine (C16), palmitoleylcarnitine (C16:1), 3-hydroxypalmitoleylcarnitine (C16:1OH), 3-hydroxypalmitoylcarnitine (C16OH), stearoylcarnitine (C18), 3-hydroxyoleoylcarnitine (C18:1-OH),and 3-hydroxystearoylcarnitine (C18OH); only linoleoylcarnitine (C18:2) showed a significant decrease. In groups with progressively impaired glycemic control, triglyceride (TG) levels (P < 0.001) and propionylcarnitine (C3) levels (P = 0.02) exhibited a significant increasing trend, whereas high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (P = 0.01) and C18:2 levels (P = 0.02) showed a consistent decreasing trend. Mediation analysis further demonstrated that maternal TG levels exerted a significant positive mediating effect on the elevation of neonatal C3 levels (10.7%, 95% CI: 0.0016, 0.0182, P = 0.006), whereas a significant masking effect was observed on C10:1 levels (-14.27%, 95% CI: -0.0006, -0.0001, P < 0.001). Additionally, maternal HDL-C levels exhibited significant masking effects on most acylcarnitine indicators, with the only exception being a significant positive mediating effect on C18:2 levels (2.94%,95% CI: -0.0018, -0.0001, P = 0.0186). Conclusion: GDM correlates with offspring AC levels, with TG and HDL-C partially mediating this relationship. Newborn fat oxidation metabolism is influenced by maternal factors from birth.
