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

purposeWith the rise of medically assisted reproductive techniques (ART) the number of pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has increased. The aim of this study was to evaluate retrospectively the outcomes of pregnancies complicated by GDM who conceive trough ART (cases) compared to those who conceived spontaneously (controls).

methodsIn 670 women with GDM, 229 cases and 441 controls, followed by the Diabetology of Padua, between 2010-2022, clinical-metabolic maternal characteristics and maternal-foetal outcomes were evaluated.

resultsAs for the maternal clinical-metabolic characteristics, plasma glucose levels at 60' and 120' under oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at time of diagnosis were significantly higher in cases (177.4 ± 31.1 vs 170.9 ± 34.1 mg/dl, p = 0.016; 151.5 ± 32.2 vs 144.0 ± 33.4 mg/dl, p = 0.005 respectively). Furthermore, at diagnosis, cases show higher levels of total cholesterol (257 ± 53 mg/dl vs 246 ± 52 mg/dl; p = 0.012) and triglycerides (199.8 ± 83.2 mg/dl vs 184.9 ± 71.3 mg/dl; p = 0.02) compared to controls. As for maternal outcomes, thyroid disfunction, was recorded in a higher percentage in case (21.4% vs 14.3%; p = 0.008), as well as, the frequency of cesarean section (50.3% vs 41.2%; p = 0.038) and twin pregnancies (16.2% vs 2.5%; p < 0.001). As for neonatal outcomes, there were no statistically significant differences, except for the birth weight of the second twin, which was significantly lower in cases (2268 ± 536 vs 2822 ± 297 g; p = 0.002). No other significant differences were found.

conclusionThis study showed no meaningful differences in the outcomes of GDM pregnancies who were conceived with ART compared to that arose spontaneously as the patients were promptly diagnosed and treated.
