Safety and Effectiveness of Switching from a Basal-only to Biphasic Insulin Aspart 30 Insulin Regimen.
Article in Diabetes therapy : research, treatment and education of diabetes and related disorders, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
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
purposeThis sub-analysis of the A1chieve study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of changing from a basal-only insulin regimen to biphasic insulin aspart 30.
methodsA1chieve was an international, multicenter, prospective, open-label, non-interventional, 24-week study in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus starting/switching to therapy with biphasic insulin aspart 30, insulin detemir, or insulin aspart (alone/in combination) in routine clinical practice. This sub-analysis evaluated the safety and effectiveness of switching from basal insulin with either insulin glargine (GLA group) or insulin neutral protamine Hagedorn (NEU group) to biphasic insulin aspart 30.
resultsA total of 2,818 participants received biphasic insulin aspart 30 (1,395 in the GLA group and 1,423 in the NEU group). After 24 weeks of treatment, there were significant reductions in the proportion of patients with at least one hypoglycemia event: total [baseline vs. 24 weeks: 15.5% vs. 9.7% (p < 0.001) and 12.3% vs. 9.9% (p < 0.05), in NEU and GLA groups, respectively], major [2.5% vs. 0.08% (p < 0.001) and 1.2% vs. 0.08% (p < 0.001), in NEU and GLA groups, respectively] and nocturnal hypoglycemia [7.2% vs. 3.5% (p < 0.001) and 5.4% vs. 3.9% (p < 0.05), in NEU and GLA groups, respectively]. After 24 weeks of biphasic insulin aspart 30 there were statistically significant improvements from baseline in glycated hemoglobin, fasting plasma glucose, and post-prandial plasma glucose levels (p < 0.001) and in health-related quality of life (p < 0.001) in both groups.
conclusionsBiphasic insulin aspart 30 may benefit patients with poor glycemic control on basal insulin regimens who are seeking to change treatment.
