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

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is regarded by many as maternal maladaptation to physiological insulin resistance during the second half of pregnancy. However, recent evidence indicates that alterations in carbohydrate metabolism can already be detected in early pregnancy. This observation, the increasing prevalence of GDM, and the significant short and long-term implications for the mother and offspring call for reevaluation of the conceptual paradigm of GDM as a syndrome. This review will present evidence for the syndromic nature of GDM and the controversies regarding screening, diagnosis, management, and treatment.
