Labor and neonatal outcomes after term induction of labor in gestational diabetes.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo identify the optimal gestational age (GA) for induction of labor (IOL) at term among patients with gestational diabetes (GDMA) according to perinatal outcomes. STUDY
designThe US Natality Database from 2007 to 2010 was reviewed. Inclusion criteria were singleton delivery, IOL at 37 to 42 weeks and GDMA. Exclusion criteria included congenital anomalies, pre-gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders, previous cesarean, breech presentation and rupture of membranes. Controls were non-GDMA cases delivered in geographic and temporal proximity. Delivery mode, macrosomia and perinatal complications were analyzed. Logistic regression adjusted for confounders was used to calculate odds ratios by GA using 39 weeks non-GDMA as reference.
resultsIn all, 96,964 cases and 176,079 controls were included. Increased risk for all adverse outcomes among GDMA cases was found. The nadir for intrapartum and neonatal complications was 38 and 40 weeks, respectively, whereas for cesarean and macrosomia was 39 weeks.
conclusionThe optimal timing for IOL at term in GDMA appears to be 39 to 40 weeks.
