Data extracted included the sample characteristics, sample size and outcomes. All tools and processes were piloted prior to use. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.

Data was presented in a tabulated form. Main Results: Six studies showed a proportional relation between folic acid intake and GDM, two reported a protective effect, and one cohort found no association. Conclusion: The inconsistent results made the formulation of a definitive conclusion difficult. Hence, larger studies are needed.]
