The frequency of acceptance of oral glucose tolerance test in Turkish pregnant women: A single tertiary center results.

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
Objective: It is thought that there is not enough data about the frequency of acceptance of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in Turkish pregnant women. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of acceptance of OGTT among participants in our single tertiary center. Methods: The data of non-diabetic 344 pregnant women seen at the Obstetrics Clinic of our hospital between September 2016 and September 2017 were obtained from the hospital records. Women who did not have regular follow-up during pregnancy were excluded. One of the two or one-step approaches was used in the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) depending on the choice of the physician following the patient. Results: There were 223 subjects eligible for the study. One hundred seventy-seven pregnant women (79.4%) accepted to do OGTT. We determined that 46 women (20.6%) did not complete at least one OGTT, of whom 74% (n=34) never completed the recommended screening test in this cohort. The overall frequency of GDM was approximately 15.2% (n=34). OGTT acceptability was higher among pregnant women with university graduates (p=0.02). Adverse pregnancy outcomes were similar between the accepted and rejected groups. Among the reasons for OGTT rejection, the media had a significant influence (n=35). Conclusion: Our results show that a significant percentage of patients refused to do OGTT. Therefore the actual frequency of pregnant women with GDM could not be determined. One way to increase compliance may be recommending only the one-step test for pregnant women in countries with a high rejection rate of OGTT.
