Review in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purposeTo review the diagnosis and management of gestational diabetes. EPIDEMIOLOGY: In the United States, approximately 2 to 5% of all pregnant women have gestational diabetes. Those women with a family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, Asian or native American race, Latina ethnicity or obesity are at higher risk for developing gestational diabetes.

conclusionWomen with gestational diabetes who are treated appropriately can achieve good outcomes in the majority of pregnancies. Frequent blood glucose monitoring, nutrition counseling and frequent physician contact allow for individualized care to achieve optimal outcomes. Such treatment includes diet, exercise and insulin. The use of oral hypoglycemic agents is controversial and there is some concern about worse maternal and neonatal outcomes as compared to treatment with insulin. Evolving technologies promise to provide more therapeutic options.
