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

The diagnosis of gestational diabetes is usually very stressful for pregnant women, especially because they fear that insulin treatment may become necessary. Knowledge about personal risk factors predicting the probability of insulin treatment could therefore help to improve acceptance of the diagnosis and therapy adherence. The aim of this study was to find potential risk factors for insulin dependency and treatment requirements using information available at the time of diagnosis of gestational diabetes during pregnancy. We included 454 singleton pregnancies diagnosed ≥24 weeks of gestation. Multivariate regression analysis was used to evaluate independent associations of metabolic, anthropometric and fetal ultrasound parameters with the general need for insulin treatment and further stratified treatment options: diet (
