The impact of prepregnancy BMI and family history of diabetes on the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus among Bulgarian women.
Observational study in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 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
introductionTo assess the impact of prepregnancy body mass index (P-BMI) and family history (FH) of diabetes on the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) among Bulgarian women.
methods446 women were tested by 75 g OGTT (WHO 2013 criteria) in a prospective observational study. The prevalence of GDM was calculated in groups with high (≥ 25 kg/m
resultsGDM was present in 7.6% of the women with normal P-BMI, in 39% of the ones with high P-BMI, in 15.1% - if FH was negative and in 39% - if FH was positive. Among women with normal P-BMI the prevalence of GDM was 3.85% if FH was negative and 16.42% - if positive. Among women with high P-BMI, the prevalence of GDM was 27.94% if FH was negative and 56.32% - if positive. The differences between the main groups and the four subgroups were statistically significant. High P-BMI, positive FH and the combination of both increased the risk for GDM 3.7, 2.6 and 5.12 times, respectively.
conclusionHigh prepregnancy BMI and FH of diabetes were independent risk factors for GDM in our population. Screening for GDM has to be recommended to all women with either one or both of these risk factors.
