4 vs 7 points self-monitoring blood glucose in gestational diabetes mellitus on diet modification: randomised clinical trial in a single tertiary centre in Malaysia.
Trial report in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04101396 (4 Versus 7 Points Self-monitoring Blood Glucose in Gestational Diabetes on Diet Modification-A Randomised Control Trial), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
purposeThere is no standardized best method on monitoring of patients with gestational diabetes on diet modification in the country. This study aims to investigate the optimum method of self-monitoring blood glucose.
methodsThis is a randomized clinical trial in a single tertiary centre involving patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) diagnosed based on NICE guideline on diet modification. The patients are randomized in 1:1 ratio to 4 or 7 points self-monitoring blood glucose. The monitoring was required to be done monthly with ultrasound for fetal growth. Blood was taken at recruitment for measurement of serum HbA
resultsA total of 200 patients were recruited. There were significantly more Malay patients in the 7 points group (88.9% vs 78.2%, p = 0.033). Multiparous patients were significantly more in the 4 points group (82.2% vs 68.7%, p = 0.033). Both groups were similar in clinical characteristics. There was no statistical difference in the neonatal outcome particularly fetal macrosomia and admission to neonatal intensive care unit.
conclusionsIn patients with GDM on diet modification, self-blood glucose monitoring using either 4 or 7 points resulted in similar maternal and perinatal outcomes. The research was registered under ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04101396) on 17/9/2019 ( https://register.
