Fasting plasma glucose level to guide the need for an OGTT to screen for gestational diabetes mellitus.
Article in Acta diabetologica, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimsTo determine the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level at which an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) could be avoided to screen for gestational diabetes (GDM) and to evaluate the characteristics of women across this FPG threshold.
methodsA multi-centric prospective cohort study with 1843 women receiving universal screening for GDM with a 75 g OGTT.
resultsIn the total population, GDM prevalence was 12.5% (231). A FPG < 78 mg/dL was the cut-off with best trade-off to limit the number of missed GDM cases [44 (19.0%)] with a negative predictive value of 97.3% (95% CI 96.5-98.0) for GDM, while avoiding 52.2% OGTTs. Compared to GDM with FPG ≥ 78 mg/dL [187 (81.0%)], GDM women with FPG < 78 mg/dL had a significantly lower BMI (27.1 ± 4.5 vs. 29.6 ± 5.2 kg/m
conclusionsFPG < 78 mg/dL can be used to limit the number of OGTTs when screening for GDM. Women with FPG < 78 mg/dL had a better metabolic profile and in NGT women also less fetal overgrowth.
