Maternal metabolic response to dietary treatment for impaired glucose tolerance and gestational diabetes mellitus.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundDietary advice is a standard component of treatment for pregnant women with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and gestational diabetes (GDM), yet few studies report glycemic profiles in response to dietary therapies and the optimal dietary approach remains uncertain.
aimTo assess changes in maternal glycemic profile and pregnancy outcomes among women with diet-controlled IGT and GDM.
methodsPregnant women who had one or more elevated values on a 3-h oral glucose tolerance test were enrolled. All participants received dietary advice and glucose monitoring as part of routine clinical care. Fasting and 1-h post-prandial blood samples, collected prior to initiation of clinical treatment and repeated 4-6 weeks later, were analyzed for glucose, insulin, and C-peptide. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated. Women who required pharmacological therapy for glucose control were excluded from analyses.
resultsParticipants (N = 93) were of moderately older age (mean 33 years), with a high rate of overweight/obesity (mean body mass index (BMI) = 28.65 kg/m
conclusionsAlthough improvements in blood glucose levels were observed among women with diet-controlled IGT and GDM, this was insufficient to significantly affect insulin resistance or perinatal outcome. Late diagnosis and treatment of IGT/GDM may have contributed to such outcomes.
