Two-day postpartum compared with 4- to 12-week postpartum glucose tolerance testing for women with gestational diabetes.
Article in American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
backgroundA majority of women in the United States with gestational diabetes mellitus do not undergo the recommended 4- to 12-week postpartum glucose tolerance test.
objectiveThis study aimed to compare the diagnostic value of the 2-day postpartum glucose tolerance test with the 4- to 12-week postpartum glucose tolerance test to identify impaired glucose metabolism at 1 year after delivery among women with gestational diabetes. STUDY
designPostpartum women who delivered at 1 hospital between January 2017 and July 2018 were offered enrollment in a prospective cohort if they had gestational diabetes mellitus diagnosed by Carpenter-Coustan criteria or a 1-hour glucose challenge test result of ≥200 mg/dL, spoke English or Spanish, and planned to remain in the hospital for at least 2 days after delivery. Participating women underwent a 75-gram 2-hour glucose tolerance test on postpartum day 2 and were incentivized to have a 4- to 12-week glucose tolerance test and measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin at 1 year after delivery. Participants and providers were blinded to the 2-day postpartum results. The diagnostic value of an abnormal 2-day postpartum glucose tolerance test (fasting result of ≥100 mg/dL or 2-hour glucose tolerance test result of ≥140 mg/dL) was compared with that of an abnormal 4- to 12-week glucose tolerance test to identify impaired glucose metabolism (≥5.7% glycosylated hemoglobin) and diabetes (≥6.5% glycosylated hemoglobin) at 1 year after delivery. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were also compared at 2 days and 4-12 weeks after delivery.
resultsOf the 300 recruited women, 296 (99%) completed the 2-day postpartum glucose tolerance test, and 202 (68%) returned for the 4- to 12-week glucose tolerance test. Approximately 1 year after delivery, 203 (68%) women had their glycosylated hemoglobin measured, of whom 35% had impaired glucose metabolism and 4% had diabetes. The study population was diverse (46% nonwhite). Furthermore, 56% were obese (mean body mass index, 32 kg/m
conclusionTwo-day postpartum glucose tolerance tests have similar diagnostic value as 4- to 12-week postpartum glucose tolerance tests in predicting impaired glucose metabolism and diabetes at 1 year after delivery and are associated with nearly 100% adherence to the test. Thus, changing the timing of the glucose tolerance test should be considered.
