1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between cumulative glycemic exposure (CGE) during pregnancy and glycemic metabolism abnormality (GMA) at 4-7 years postpartum and to compare its predictive value with that of a single fasting blood glucose (FBG) measurement. Methods: In this retrospective-prospective cohort study, 120 pregnant women were included from an existing cohort. CGE was calculated using the trapezoidal rule, and subjects were categorized into tertiles. A logistic regression analysis evaluated the association between CGE and GMA, and restricted cubic splines were used to evaluate dose-response relationships. The interaction between CGE and pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) was examined. Predictive performance was compared using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: Higher CGE was associated with an increased incidence of GMA [tertile 1 (T1): 10.0%, T2: 35.0%, T3: 65.0%]. Each 1-unit increment in CGE independently increased GMA risk (odds ratio = 1.040, 95% confidence interval: 1.01-1.07, Conclusion: CGE during pregnancy is an independent predictor of postpartum GMA. In clinical practice, adding pre-pregnancy BMI improves risk stratification, supporting the early identification of high-risk women. Clinical trial registration: Identifier ChiCTR2300067592.
