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/

introductionThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the placental expression of glucose transporters GLUT-1, GLUT-3, GLUT-8 and GLUT-12 in term pregnancies complicated by well-controlled gestational (GDM) and type 1 pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM). MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 103 placental samples were obtained from patients diagnosed with GDM (n = 60), PGDM (n = 20) and a non-diabetic control group (n = 23). Computer-assisted quantitative morphometry of stained placental sections was performed to determine the expression of selected GLUT proteins.

resultsImmunohistochemical techniques used for the identification of GLUT-1, GLUT-3, GLUT-8 and GLUT-12 revealed the presence of all glucose transporters in the placental tissue. Morphometric evaluation performed for the vascular density-matched placental samples demonstrated a significant increase in the expression of GLUT-1 protein in patients with PGDM as compared to GDM and control groups (P < 0.05). With regard to the expression of the other GLUT isoforms, no statistically significant differences were observed between patients from the diabetic and control populations. Positive correlations between fetal birthweight and the expression of GLUT-1 protein in the PGDM group (rho = 0.463, P < 0.05) and GLUT-12 in the control group (rho = 0.481, P < 0.05) were noted.

conclusionsIn term pregnancies complicated by well-controlled GDM/PGDM, expression of transporters GLUT-3, GLUT-8 and GLUT-12 in the placenta remains unaffected. Increased expression of GLUT-1 among women with type 1 PGDM might contribute to a higher rate of macrosomic fetuses in this population.
