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) has a rapidly increasing prevalence, which poses challenges to obstetric care and service provision, with known serious long-term impacts on the metabolic health of the mother and the affected offspring. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between glucose levels on the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test and GDM treatment and outcomes. We performed a retrospective cohort study of women with GDM attending a tertiary Australian hospital obstetric clinic between 2013 and 2017, investigating the relationship between the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) glucose values, and obstetric (timing of delivery, caesarean section, preterm birth, preeclampsia), and neonatal (hypoglycaemia, jaundice, respiratory distress and NICU admission) outcomes. This time frame encompassed a change in diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes, due to changes in international consensus guidelines. Our results showed that, based on the diagnostic 75 g OGTT, fasting hyperglycaemia, either alone or in combination with elevated 1 or 2 h glucose levels, was associated with the need for pharmacotherapy with either metformin and/or insulin (
