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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to compare pregnancy outcomes of patients with polyhydramnios due to late-onset gestational diabetes mellitus and patients with isolated polyhydramnios.

methodsOf the women who fully participated in prenatal examinations at Etlik Lady Zübeyde Hospital between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2019, women with polyhydramnios of nonfetal-placental origin manifesting in the third trimester were retrospectively reviewed. Women with normal 75-g oral glucose tolerance test results between 24 and 28 weeks gestation who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study and divided into two groups based on the results of rescreening with the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test for polyhydramnios in the third trimester: women with isolated polyhydramnios (group 1) and women with late-onset polyhydramnios due to gestational diabetes mellitus (group 2).

resultsThere were a total of 295 participants, of whom 35 (11.8%) were diagnosed with polyhydramnios due to late-onset gestational diabetes mellitus. There were no differences in the main outcomes. Birthweight and gestational age at birth were identified as independent risk factors for predicting composite maternal outcome {[odds ratio (OR)=1.273, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.063-1.524, p=0.009]} and composite neonatal outcome (OR=0.606, CI 0.494-0.744, p<0.001), respectively.

conclusionPolyhydramnios in late pregnancy without evidence of pregnancy-related causes leading to polyhydramnios may be a sign of late-onset gestational diabetes mellitus in women with a normal prior oral glucose tolerance test. As pregnancy outcomes and management were indifferent, it does not seem necessary or useful to diagnose whether or not late-onset gestational diabetes mellitus is present.
