Erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and risk of gestational diabetes.

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
purposeGlucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is the regulating enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway. A link between the activity of G6PD and diabetes mellitus has previously been reported. The association of G6PD activity with the pathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has not yet been investigated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of erythrocyte G6PD activity with major characteristics of GDM.
methodsThis case-control study was conducted at Hafez Hospital, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran from March to November 2017. Eighty-four age-matched pregnant women including GDM (
resultsThe values of FPG, insulin, HOMA-IR, G6PD activity, and FRAP were significantly higher in GDM patients compared to NGT subjects. G6PD activity was correlated with FPG ((r = 0.224; P = 0.041). Binary logistic regression analysis revealed independent association of body mass index >25.88 [OR = 3.23, 95% CI 1.071-9.75, P = 0.037], HOMA- IR >2.33 [OR = 7.15, 95% CI 2.26-22.56, P < 0.001], and G6PD activity>21.17 U/g Hb [OR = 4.63, 95% CI 1.49-14.38, P = 0.008] with an increased risk of GDM. No significant change was observed among serum MDA levels in the three groups.
conclusionThe findings demonstrate that increased G6PD activity is positively associated with the risk of GDM.
