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

backgroundFasting glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were used to diagnose gestational diabetes during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

aimTo determine whether the diagnostic criteria used during the COVID-19 pandemic may play a role outside the pandemic.

methodsFrom May 2022 to July 2024, 354 females with an altered 50-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), the usual diagnostic test (100-g OGTT), and the alternative diagnostic (A) criteria (fasting glucose ≥ 95 mg/dL and/or HbA1c ≥ 5.7%) were tested simultaneously, resulting in four different groups: OGTT+/A+ (

resultsSensitivity of the alternative criteria was 25% and specificity was 91.2%. Body mass index (BMI) was similar from the OGTT-/A+ and OGTT+/A+ groups (30.1 ± 6.3 kg/m

conclusionDespite insufficient validity to replace the OGTT, alternative criteria identify a group of patients with a higher risk profile and adverse perinatal outcomes who could benefit for health interventions.
