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

The management of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic can be challenging. Even if they are not infected, they are at risk of dysregulated glycemic control due to the restrictive measures which compromise and disrupt healthcare delivery. In the case of infection, people with DM have an increased risk of developing severe complications. The major principles of optimal care for mild outpatient cases include a patient-tailored therapeutic approach, regular glucose monitoring and adherence to medical recommendations regarding lifestyle measures and drug treatment. For critically ill hospitalized patients, tight monitoring of glucose, fluids, electrolytes, pH and blood ketones is of paramount importance to optimize outcomes. All patients with DM do not have an equally increased risk for severity and mortality due to COVID-19. Certain clinical and biological characteristics determine high-risk phenotypes within the DM population and such prognostic markers need to be characterized in future studies. Further research is needed to examine which subgroups of DM patients are expected to benefit the most from specific antiviral, immunomodulatory and other treatment strategies in the context of patient-tailored precision medicine, which emerges as an urgent priority in the era of COVID-19.
