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

purposeWomen with gestational diabetes (GDM) have increased risk of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP). However, knowledge remains limited for women with high-risk metabolic profiles, regardless of GDM diagnosis. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of HDP among women at high risk for GDM, while simultaneously identifying potential predictive clinical risk factors of HDP.

methodsPregnant women who performed a 75-gr Oral Glucose Tolerance Test for the selective screening (based on pre-pregnancy risk factors) of GDM were prospectively enrolled (October 2019-June 2022). The development of HDPwas assessed. Logistic regression and ROC-curve analysis were used to identify predictive risk factors for HDP.

resultsOf the 398 women enrolled (53.5% with GDM), 30 (8%) developed HDP. Women developing HDP had more frequently a family history of type 2 diabetes, a personal history of GDM or preeclampsia, and showed higher pregestational BMI and first-trimester fasting plasma glucose. Moreover, at GDM screening, they had higher fasting and 1-hour glucose levels, and higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure. At logistic regression, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were the strongest risk factors for HDP. The risk increased for systolic blood pressure ≥ 127 mmHg (61% sensitivity, 86% specificity, PPV:27%, NPV:86%) and diastolic blood pressure ≥ 82 mmHg (57% sensitivity, 92% specificity, PPV:38%, NPV:96%).

conclusionWomen at high risk for GDM with poor metabolic profile have higher prevalence of HDP. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure at the time of GDM screening may identify women with higher risk of developing HDP, regardless of GDM diagnosis.
