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

objectiveUncontrolled diabetes in pregnancy is associated with maternal and fetal complications. Individuals with pregestational diabetes require frequent glucose monitoring and insulin adjustments to meet glycemic targets. The purpose of the study was to provide improved management of diabetes during pregnancy and up to 6 weeks postpartum, improve patient understanding of diabetes and diabetes self-management, and develop a multidisciplinary obstetrics workflow model for women with diabetes that is both replicable and self-sustaining. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsFifty participants who were pregnant, diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and ≥18 years of age comprised two groups: a historical group who received traditional diabetes education and an intervention group who received traditional diabetes education enhanced with a cellular-enabled glucose meter, both alongside their prenatal medical appointments. In the intervention group, glucose levels were monitored daily via a cloud-based portal in addition to traditional weekly review, and outreach was initiated when glucose levels met thresholds. Diabetes medications were adjusted as needed in both groups. Practice, clinical, and glycemic data were extracted from the electronic medical record and cloud portal.

resultsNeonatal hypoglycemia was reduced (

conclusionEnhanced care with a cellular-enabled glucose meter facilitated remote patient monitoring with accurate glucose data. The intervention group received more hours of diabetes education and more text and telephone contact. Review of glucose data via the cloud-based portal increased the identification of hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic events, informing delivery decisions. Delivery was earlier for the intervention group, yet rates of neonatal hypoglycemia were reduced.
