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

aimsTo compare perinatal outcomes and postpartum glucose tolerance between women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) before 20 weeks of gestation (EGDM) and those diagnosed at or after 24 weeks of gestation (LGDM) in a Japanese population. MATERIALS AND

methodsData were obtained from a prospective GDM registry. Multivariate analysis was conducted to examine the association between the timing of GDM diagnosis (EGDM vs LGDM) and perinatal outcomes (preterm birth, small for gestational age, large for gestational age, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and neonatal hypoglycemia), as well as postpartum glucose intolerance.

resultsA total of 1,275 mother-infant pairs were analyzed for perinatal outcomes. Of these, 924 women underwent postpartum testing for glucose intolerance. No significant differences in perinatal outcomes were observed between the EGDM and LGDM groups, except that overweight/obese women with EGDM had 2.5-fold higher rate of preterm birth than those with LGDM. Postpartum glucose intolerance was 1.5 times more likely in the EGDM group than in the LGDM group.

conclusionsWomen with EGDM had a significantly higher risk of postpartum glucose intolerance than those with LGDM, despite similar perinatal outcomes between the two groups.
