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

backgroundAbnormal glucose variability (GV) is a risk factor for diabetes complications, and tens of indices for its quantification from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) time series have been proposed. However, the information carried by these indices is redundant, and a parsimonious description of GV can be obtained through sparse principal component analysis (SPCA). We have recently shown that a set of 10 metrics selected by SPCA is able to describe more than 60% of the variance of 25 GV indicators in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Here, we want to extend the application of SPCA to type 2 diabetes (T2D).

methodsA data set of CGM time series collected in 13 T2D subjects was considered. The 25 GV indices considered for T1D were evaluated. SPCA was used to select a subset of indices able to describe the majority of the original variance.

resultsA subset of 10 indicators was selected and allowed to describe 83% of the variance of the original pool of 25 indices. Four metrics sufficient to describe 67% of the original variance turned out to be shared by the parsimonious sets of indices in T1D and T2D.

conclusionsStarting from a pool of 25 indices assessed from CGM time series in T2D subjects, reduced subsets of metrics virtually providing the same information content can be determined by SPCA. The fact that these indices also appear in the parsimonious description of GV in T1D may indicate that they could be particularly informative of GV in diabetes, regardless of the specific type of disease.
