Does the timing of postprandial glucose monitoring affect the obstetric and neonatal outcomes in patients with gestational diabetes? A prospective study comparing 1 and 2-h postprandial monitoring.

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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to examine the obstetrical and neonatal outcomes in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) who had postprandial glucose monitoring 1 vs. 2 h following meals. STUDY
designIn this prospective cohort study, we included patients with GDM who were referred to our medical center between July 2019 and June 2021. Patients chose the timing of postprandial glucose monitoring based on their own preferences. Obstetrical and neonatal outcomes, as well as patient satisfaction, were compared between patients who performed postprandial glucose monitoring 1 and 2 h after meals (PPG1 vs. PPG2). The primary outcome was birth weight. The study was powered to detect a 250 g increase in birth weight.
resultsOverall, 99 patients were included: 50 in the PPG1 group and 49 in the PPG2 group. Baseline characteristics were comparable between the groups. Neonates in the PPG1 and PPG2 groups had similar birth weights (3319 ± 355 vs. 3319 ± 520 g, respectively, p = 0.99). Glycemic control, mode of delivery, gestational age at delivery, and satisfaction rates were also similar between the study groups.
conclusionIn patients with GDM, performing1 vs. 2 h following meals resulted in similar obstetrical and neonatal outcomes and similar satisfaction rates. We therefore recommend counseling patients to choose either strategy based on their personal preference.
