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

introductionWomen with first trimester fasting glycaemia (FTFG) 92-125 mg/dL may present with normal 24-28th week OGTT (2T-OGTT). Predictors of persistent hyperglycaemia were scarcely investigated. We studied the prevalence and predictors of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in the 2T-OGTT in women with untreated elevated FTFG.

methodsRetrospective study of women from the national GDM registry with FTFG between 92 and 125 mg/dL that had passed unnoticed and untreated until the 2T-OGTT. PRIMARY ENDPOINT: GDM in the 2T-OGTT. Women with and without GDM were compared. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to study GDM predictors. Included variables: FTFG, newborn sex, and known GDM risk factors.

resultsWe studied 407 women. 82% (82.1%) of women had a positive 2T-OGTT. Women with abnormal 2T-OGTT were older, had higher BMI, and more often carried female newborns. There were no differences concerning other known GDM risk factors, FTFG, and obstetric or neonatal complications. Age, BMI and newborn sex were associated with higher risk of GDM independently of other GDM risk factors or FTFG. Per 1 year of age and 1 kg/m2 of BMI, the OR (95%CI) for this association were 1.10 (1.05-1.16) and 1.07 (1.02-1.12), respectively. Alternatively, women older than 35 years or with a BMI ≥ 30Kg/m2 had an OR of 2.53 (1.30-4.90) and 2.20 (1.22-3.98), respectively. Women with male newborns had approximately half the risk of abnormal 2T-OGTT [OR 0.51 (0.30-0.87)].

conclusionsNearly 18% of women with FTFG between 92 and 125 mg/dL had a normal 2T-OGTT. Older age, higher BMI, and female newborns were associated with increased risk of abnormal 2T-OGTT.
