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

backgroundIn type 1 diabetes (T1D) research, in-silico clinical trials (ISCTs) have proven effective in accelerating the development of new therapies. However, published simulators lack a realistic description of some aspects of patient lifestyle which can remarkably affect glucose control. In this paper, we develop a mathematical description of meal carbohydrates (CHO) amount and timing, with the aim to improve the meal generation module in the T1D Patient Decision Simulator (T1D-PDS) published in Vettoretti et al.

methodsData of 32 T1D subjects under free-living conditions for 4874 days were used. Univariate probability density function (PDF) parametric models with different candidate shapes were fitted, individually, against sample distributions of: CHO amounts of breakfast (CHO

resultsResulting PDF models were: gamma (CHO

conclusionsThe models of meal amount and timing variability developed are suitable for describing real data. Their inclusion in modules that describe patient behavior in the T1D-PDS can permit investigators to perform more realistic, reliable, and insightful ISCTs.
