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

objectiveThe FTO rs9939609 variant is a major common genetic risk factor of adult obesity. We hypothesized that the rs9939609 variant of the fetus alters the plasma glucose (PG) levels during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) routinely performed between the 24-28th gestational week.

methodsWe analysed the data of mother-neonate pairs from our prior gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) case-control study (Hungarian-Austrian set, n = 858) and the HAPO study European ancestry subset (HAPO-EUR, n = 1374) using pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and maternal age as covariates. The rs8050136 (complete LD with rs9939609) was used in the HAPO-EUR data set.

resultsFetal FTO variants were associated (dominant genetic model) with decreased maternal 60'min PG values (ß

conclusionFTO risk variants carried by the fetus may indirectly influence maternal metabolism and could be associated with a flatter OGTT curve driven by the reduced 1 h postload PG levels in pregnancy.
