Adolescent cognitive function and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus: A retrospective population-based cohort study.
Article in PloS one, 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
backgroundGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increasingly prevalent and linked with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Low cognitive function in youth has been associated with various adverse metabolic outcomes. This study examined the association between adolescent cognitive function and GDM in the first pregnancy.
methodsIn this retrospective nationwide population-based cohort study, data from the Israel Defense Forces conscription database, including cognitive assessments conducted at approximately age 17 years (1976-2016), were linked with electronic medical records from Maccabi Healthcare Services, documenting prenatal care and gestational diabetes screening data. General intelligence test (GIT) scores were standardized into sex-specific Z-scores and categorized as low, intermediate, or high. GDM during first pregnancy was defined according to the two-step approach. Logistic regression analyses were used to calculate odds ratios (OR) for GDM.
resultsAmong 189,663 women, 21,979 (11.6%) had low, 130,215 (68.7%) had intermediate, and 37,469 (19.8%) high GIT Z-scores; 10,187 (5.4%) developed GDM. Relative to high scores, low and intermediate scores were associated with higher odds of GDM: OR 1.17 (95% CI 1.08-1.26) and OR 1.09 (1.03-1.15), respectively.
conclusionsLower adolescent cognitive function was modestly associated with increased risk of GDM in the first pregnancy, independent of sociodemographic factors and adolescent BMI. Cognitive function may serve as an early marker of maternal metabolic health.
