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
Introduction: gestational diabetes is a frequent complication of pregnancy, associated with risks for both mother and child. Its management relies on adherence to dietary recommendations, the effectiveness of which may vary according to the socio-economic context and the type of healthcare system. In Morocco, few studies have compared the public and private sectors. Methods: a retrospective cross-sectional study included 331 women with GDM in the Marrakech-Safi region (266 public, 65 private). Data were collected using a standardised questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with management and therapeutic outcomes. Results are presented as adjusted odds ratios (aOR), 95% confidence intervals, and p-values. Results: family income above the minimum wage (aOR: 8.99, 95% CI 1.92-42.13; p= 0.005) and social security coverage (aOR: 25.5, 95% CI 5.06-128.6; p< 0.001) were associated with follow-up in the private sector. Dietary adherence was higher among women in the private sector (aOR: 2.08, 95% CI 1.04-4.19; p= 0.040). Physical activity was favoured by private follow-up (aOR: 2.18, 95% CI 1.18-4.04; p= 0.013). Glycemic control was better in the private sector (aOR: 0.20, 95% CI 0.09-0.43; p< 0.001). Regular medical follow-up was more frequent in the private sector (aOR: 0.33, 95% CI 0.12-0.91; p= 0.031). Conclusion: this study reveals marked disparities between public and private sectors in the management of GDM in Morocco, largely influenced by economic resources. Strengthening public sector capacity is necessary to enhance the equity and efficiency of care.
