Gestational diabetes mellitus: NICE for the U.S.? A comparison of the American Diabetes Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists guidelines with the U.K. National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence guidelines.
Article in Diabetes care, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo compare recent U.S. and U.K. guidelines on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsThe guidelines from the American Diabetes Association, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in the U.K. were collated and compared using a general inductive approach.
resultsThere are substantial differences in the recommendations between the U.K. and the U.S. guidelines. Of particular note are the reduced sensitivities of the early and later antenatal and postnatal screening and diagnostic criteria. NICE undertook a cost-effectiveness analysis using lower prevalence estimates and limited outcomes and still showed screening for GDM to be cost-effective.
conclusionsThe latest NICE recommendations appear to reduce access to proven, cost-effective management of GDM, an issue relevant in the current U.S. health care policy debate.
