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

AIMS/

introductionMedical nutrition therapy is the cornerstone of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) treatment. Patients with GDM should receive dietary counseling regarding diet and exercise. MATERIALS AND

methodsTo study patients' perception level of diet and their level of understanding after dietary counseling, we analyzed 225 reports of dietary counseling of patients with GDM prepared by dieticians. We also assessed the patients' level of understanding after dietary counseling by asking questions regarding the counseling content. The answers to the questions were aggregated, and substantially similar answers were grouped and categorized.

resultsThe dieticians' suggestions were well understood by the patients. Moreover, the patients also identified their previous incorrect eating habits, such as excessive carbohydrate restriction or inappropriate fruit intake. Although distributed frequent meals were recommended by the dieticians, few patients actually practiced this for various reasons. Some patients were apparently influenced by dietary information from the mass media.

conclusionDietary counseling was regarded as helpful and acceptable to most patients with GDM in our hospital, and many suggestions were recognized as informative for modification of previous dietary habits. By providing the results of the questionnaire survey to the dieticians, they can improve the quality of their counseling, which is expected to result in better individual care of the patients.
