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

purposeOur objective was to compare the diagnostic performance of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), GA, and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) for the diagnosis of GDM.

methodsWomen at their late second or early third trimesters seen from October 2011 to April 2012 were studied. GDM was diagnosed based on oral glucose tolerance test results, and GA and HbA1c were measured at the same time. Patients were divided into two groups (with and without GDM), and areas under the receiver-operating characteristic curves (AUCs) were calculated to determine the diagnostic value of FPG, GA, and HbA1c.

resultsA total of 698 women were included, of which 232 (33.2%) had GDM. Overall, FPG had the highest AUC for the detection of GDM, and was significantly higher than that of GA (0.692 vs. 0.568, p < 0.001) and HbA1c (0.692 vs. 0.619, p = 0.014). The AUC of FPG was significantly greater than that of GA and HbA1c. At 24-28 weeks' gestation, the AUCs of FPG were significantly greater than those of GA and HbA1c.

conclusionsThese results do not support the use of GA as a screening tool for GDM.
