Comparative analysis of 2-week glycaemic profile of healthy versus mild gestational diabetic pregnant women using flash glucose monitoring system: an observational study.
Observational study in BJOG : an international journal of obstetrics and gynaecology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 compare glycaemic profiles in women with mild gestational diabetes (GDM) and those with a healthy pregnancy.
designObservational study.
settingHospital-based. POPULATION: Healthy nonpregnant, healthy pregnant, and women with GDM, diagnosed by oral glucose tolerance test.
methodsNine nonpregnant women, 33 healthy pregnant women, 29 pregnant women with GDM between 24 and 36 weeks' gestation, received ambulatory glucose profile (AGP) monitoring for a 2-week period. AGP values were compared in the three groups: 100 days (9600 data points) for nonpregnant women, 396 days (33 792 data points) for healthy pregnant women, and 348 days (34 408 data points) for women with GDM.
resultsMean glucose values for fasting and postmeals were highest in nonpregnant healthy women and lowest in healthy pregnant women (P < 0.001). Women with mild GDM had significantly higher blood glucose values than did healthy pregnant women, though still within the target range. Blood glucose values >160 mg/dl were observed in 41.4% (12/29) in the GDM group compared with 18.2% in women with a healthy pregnancy. The maximum peak of day and night time glucose was respectively 234 and 215 mg/dl in women with GDM compared with 183 and 171 mg/dL in the control group. Glycaemic variability as measured by interquartile range was higher in GDM pregnancies.
conclusionsAlthough the blood glucose level remained within the target levels in women with mild GDM, glycaemic variability and mean blood glucose levels were significantly higher among women with GDM than among women with a healthy pregnancy. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Average blood glucose levels and glycaemic variability are significantly higher in women with GDM than in women with a healthy pregnancy.
