Cost-effectivity analysis of one-step versus two-step screening for gestational diabetes.
Article in The Eurasian journal of medicine, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveEarly diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is important for both maternal and fetal health. The literature has varying recommendations about one-step and two-step tests for GDM screening and diagnosis. The present study aimed to investigate the difference in the cost and duration of hospital stay of a one-step procedure compared to a two-step procedure, which is routinely performed in our hospital. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe two-step procedure was performed in 2,724 pregnant women, and the one-step procedure was performed in 185 pregnant women. The one-step and two-step screening procedures for gestational diabetes were compared with respect to the duration of hospital stay and cost.
resultsThe test cost per woman was 0.75 TL less in the one-step procedure; however, the duration of the one-step test was 18.6 min longer, and the number of blood sampling procedures was 1.08 times higher.
conclusionThe one-step method may be preferred over the two-step (or glucose challenge) test due to its diagnostic value and lower cost.
