Glycemic responses to whole grain sourdough bread versus refined white bread in patients with gestational diabetes.
Article in Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundNutritional therapy remains a key tool for prevention and management of gestational diabetes (GDM). Carbohydrate type and absorption rate rather than the carbohydrate amount have more impact on postprandial glucose (PPG) levels in GDM. The effect of refined white bread and whole grain sourdough bread on glycemic indexes were compared in GDM patients.
methodsA total of 43 patients with GDM and 38 healthy pregnant women were included. A similar breakfast menu was given to both groups of patients at two different times in consecutive weeks; however, different types of bread with the same weight were used for both breakfasts; 1) white wheat (WW) bread, 2) sourdough whole grain wheat (SWGW) bread. Blood glucose, insulin and C‑peptide levels were compared before and after breakfast.
resultsFasting glucose, insulin and c‑peptide levels were similar between groups (p > 0.05). While the second hour glucose levels were similar between the groups, the first hour results of glucose, insulin and C‑peptide levels were lower in the SWGW group (p < 0.05). In the control patients, first hour glucose, insulin and C‑peptide levels were also lower in the SWGW group (p < 0.05).
conclusionThe WW bread, which is more preferred in daily life routine, causes 45.5% more insulin secretion and 9.6% more first hour postprandial blood glucose compared to SWGW bread both in GDM patients and healthy pregnant women. According to the results of this study, we recommend that sourdough whole grain bread should be preferred in order to increase the success in the management of GDM.
