The effect of a theory of planned behavior-based education model on self-management and metabolic control in pregnant women with gestational diabetes: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04874922 (The Effect Birth Outcome and Diabetes Management of Planned Behavior Theory Based Education Model in Women With Gestational Diabetes), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Lifestyle modification is central to GDM management; however, optimal strategies for supporting self-management remain unclear. This study evaluated the effect of a personalized Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)-based online education model supported by motivational interviewing (MI) on behavioral determinants and metabolic control in women with GDM.
methodsThis randomized controlled trial was conducted in a public maternity hospital in Istanbul, Türkiye, with 66 pregnant women with GDM (intervention: n = 33; control: n = 33). Data were collected using the Gestational Diabetes Intention, Attitude, and Behavior Questionnaire (GDIAB-Q), a sociodemographic and clinical form, and medical records. Co-primary outcomes were changes in five GDIAB-Q subscales (attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, intention, and planning). Secondary outcomes included metabolic parameters (postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile, blood pressure, and body mass index). The intervention group received three TPB-based online sessions with MI during gestational weeks 28-30; controls received usual care. Effect sizes (Cohen's d) and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04874922).
resultsThe predefined theory-informed success criterion for the co-primary outcome set was met. Significant between-group improvements were observed in attitude (d = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.21-1.21, p = 0.005), subjective norm (d = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.30-1.30, p = 0.002), and intention (d = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.06-1.05, p = 0.028). No significant differences were found for perceived behavioral control or planning. Secondary outcomes favored the intervention, with lower postprandial blood glucose (d = 0.51, p = 0.045), HbA1c (d = 0.50, p = 0.045), and BMI (d = 0.59, p = 0.021).
conclusionThis TPB-based online education model strengthened key behavioral determinants of self-management and was associated with early improvements in selected metabolic outcomes among women with GDM. Theory-driven, personalized education may support GDM self-management; longer-term follow-up is needed to assess sustained effects.
