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

aimTo establish a nomogram model to predict the risk of macrosomia in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus in China.

methodsWe retrospectively collected the medical records of 783 pregnant women with gestational diabetes who underwent prenatal examinations and delivered at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from October 2019 to October 2020. The pregnant women were randomly divided into two groups in a 4:1 ratio to generate and validate the model. The independent risk factors for macrosomia in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression, and the nomogram model to predict the risk of macrosomia in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus was established and verified by R software.

resultsLogistic regression analysis showed that prepregnancy body mass index, weight gain during pregnancy, fasting plasma glucose, triglycerides, biparietal diameter and amniotic fluid index were independent risk factors for macrosomia (P < 0.05). The areas under the ROC curve for internal and external validation of the model were 0.813 (95 % confidence interval 0.754-0.862) and 0.903 (95 % confidence interval 0.588-0.967), respectively. The calibration curve was a straight line with a slope close to 1.

conclusionsIn this study, we constructed a nomogram model to predict the risk of macrosomia in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus. The model has good discrimination and calibration abilities, which can help clinical healthcare staff accurately predict macrosomia in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus.
