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
Background Neonatal hypoglycemia is a common metabolic disturbance in neonates. Glucose monitoring is recommended for certain groups of neonates, including those whose mothers have pre-gestational or gestational diabetes. Little is known about the relevance of glucose monitoring in neonates whose mothers have an elevated screening glucose challenge test (GCT) but a normal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Objectives The objectives of this study were to determine if neonates of mothers with an elevated GCT but a normal OGTT had hypoglycemia and to establish if there was an association between the maternal GCT and neonatal blood glucose level. Methods A single-site retrospective analysis was conducted on 307 neonates born in a community hospital in the Brooklyn area of New York between November 1, 2021, and November 1, 2023, who were identified as being at risk for hypoglycemia due to known risk factors like maternal diabetes, prematurity, low birth weight, and small or large size for gestational age, as well as possible risk factors like an elevated maternal GCT but a normal OGTT. Glucose monitoring had been done for these neonates at birth per AAP recommendations. The Office of Science and Research Institutional Review Board reviewed the study which was determined to meet the criteria for exemption. The individual authorization requirements were waived and adequate steps were taken to ensure data privacy. Neonates of diabetic mothers or mothers with an elevated OGTT and neonates who were born preterm, low birth weight, and small or large for gestational age were excluded from the study while neonates whose mothers had an elevated GCT, but a normal OGTT were included. This brought to 63 the number of neonates who met the inclusion criteria. Charts were reviewed to see if these neonates had hypoglycemia during the course of glucose monitoring. The chi-square test was used for categorical variables and the two-sample
