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.

Abstract

aimsThis 52-week, randomized, multinational, open-label, parallel-group, non-inferiority trial investigated the efficacy and safety of basal-bolus treatment with insulin detemir vs. NPH (neutral protamine Hagedorn) insulin, in combination with insulin aspart, in subjects aged 2-16 years with Type 1 diabetes mellitus.

methodsOf the 347 randomized and exposed subjects, 177 received insulin detemir and 170 NPH insulin, both administered once or twice daily in combination with mealtime insulin aspart. Glycaemic measurements and weight were followed over 52 weeks.

resultsAfter 52 weeks, insulin detemir was shown to be non-inferior to NPH insulin with regard to HbA(1c) [mean difference insulin detemir-NPH: 1.30 mmol/mol, 95% CI -1.32 to 3.92 (0.12%, 95% CI -0.12 to 0.36) in the full analysis set and 1.41 mmol/mol, 95% CI -1.26 to 4.08 (0.13%, 95% CI -0.12 to 0.37) in the per protocol analysis set]. Hypoglycaemic events per subject-year of exposure of 24-h and nocturnal hypoglycaemia were significantly lower with insulin detemir than with NPH insulin (rate ratio 0.76, 95% CI 0.60-0.97, P = 0.028 and 0.62, 95% CI 0.47-0.84, P = 0.002, respectively). Weight standard deviation (sd) scores (body weight standardized by age and gender) decreased with insulin detemir, but increased slightly with NPH insulin (change: -0.12 vs. 0.04, P < 0.001). At end of the trial, median insulin doses were similar in both treatment groups.

conclusionsInsulin detemir was non-inferior to NPH insulin after 52 weeks' treatment of children and adolescents aged 2-16 years, and was associated with a significantly lower risk of hypoglycaemia, together with significantly lower weight sd score when compared with NPH insulin.
