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

backgroundTo investigate the potential predictors of insulin treatment during pregnancy and abnormal postpartum glucose metabolism in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

methodsA total of 534 patients with GDM, who were diagnosed based on 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) during pregnancy, were divided into the diet group (n=354) and insulin group (n=180) according to the treatment of hyperglycemia in pregnancy. Based on 75 g OGTT after delivery, 178 of the 534 patients were divided into the normal glucose tolerance (NGT; n=104) and the abnormal glucose tolerance (AGT; n=74) groups. Characteristics and metabolic indicators were compared. Logistic regression analysis was developed to assess the potential predictors of insulin treatment and abnormal postpartum glucose metabolism. Receiver operating characteristic curve was performed to determine the cut-off values.

resultsFasting plasma glucose (FPG), 1 h plasma glucose, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at GDM diagnosis were higher in the insulin group compared with the diet group (

conclusionPatients with FPG >5.7 mmol/L, 1 h plasma glucose >11.4 mmol/L, or HbA1c >5.3% at GDM diagnosis required insulin treatment, and patients with FPG >5.7 mmol/L had a greater risk of abnormal postpartum glucose metabolism. FPG at GDM diagnosis was the most important predictor.
