Identification and management of GCK-MODY complicating pregnancy in Chinese patients with gestational diabetes.

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
Precise differentiation of glucokinase (GCK) monogenic diabetes from gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is critical for accurate management of the pregnancy outcome. We screened GCK-MODY complicating pregnancies in Chinese GDM patients, explored the pathogenesis of novel GCK mutations, and evaluated the patients' pregnancy outcome and management. The GCK gene from 411 GDM patients was screened with PCR-direct sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and 15 GCK mutations were identified. We also retrospectively analyzed a total of 65 pregnancies from 21 GCK-MODY families, wherein 41 were from 15 maternal families and 24 were from six paternal families. Bioinformatic analysis and biochemical functional study were conducted to identify novel GCK mutations. In total, we identified 21 GCK mutations: 15 from the 411 GDM patients and six from 24 fathers. Of th Asp78Asn (GAC → AAC), Met87Arg (ATG → AGG), Leu451Val (CTT → GTT), Leu451Pro (CTG → CCG) and 1019 + 20G > A e mutations, five, i.e., were novel and deleterious, with markedly decreased enzyme activity and thermal stability. The unaffected offspring of GCK mutation-affected mothers were heavier than affected offspring (p < 0.001). Of 21 insulin-treated affected mothers, 10 had maternal hypoglycemia (47.6%) and seven had perinatal complications (33.3%), and the affected offspring of the insulin-treated affected mothers had significantly lower birth weights than that of the 20 diet-control affected mothers (p = 0.031). In this study, the prevalence of GCK-MODY complicating pregnancy in Chinese GDM patients was 3.6% (15/411). The defective GCK may contribute to the hyperglycemia in GCK-MODY. Insulin therapy is not beneficial for GCK-MODY complicating pregnancy and therefore should not be recommended.
