Summary for the risk of pre‐eclampsia (not defined) in women with GDM
Probably ineffective or harmful interventions (more evidence needed): indicating that the review found moderate‐quality evidence suggesting lack of effectiveness for an intervention, more evidence needed
  • Moderate‐quality evidence showed no clear difference for the DASH diet versus control diet with matching macronutrient contents or insulin versus oral therapy.


No conclusions possible: low‐ to very low‐quality evidence, or insufficient evidence to comment on the effectiveness, more evidence needed
  • Low‐quality evidence showed no clear difference for energy‐ versus no energy‐restricted diet; high‐ versus low‐unsaturated fat diet with matching calories; lifestyle intervention versus usual care or diet alone; exercise versus control; intensive management versus routine care or insulin type A versus B.

  • Very low‐quality evidence showed no clear difference for metformin versus glibenclamide; soy‐ versus no soy‐protein diet or managed by self‐ versus periodic‐glucose monitoring or post‐ versus pre‐prandial glucose monitoring
