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

In recent years the role of altered alpha cell function and glucagon secretion in type 1 diabetes has attracted scientific attention. It is well established that glucagon responses to hypoglycemia are absent in type 1 diabetes, but more uncertain whether it is intact following other physiological and metabolic stimuli compared with nondiabetic individuals. The aim of this review is to (i) summarize current knowledge on glucagon responses during hypoglycemia in normal physiology and type 1 diabetes, and (ii) review human in vivo studies investigating glucagon responses after other stimuli in individuals with type 1 diabetes and nondiabetic individuals. Available data suggest that in type 1 diabetes the absence of glucagon secretion after hypoglycemia is irreversible. This is a scenario specific to hypoglycemia, since other stimuli, including administration of amino acids, insulin withdrawal, lipopolysaccharide exposure and exercise lead to substantial glucagon responses though attenuated compared to nondiabetic individuals in head-to-head studies. The derailed glucagon secretion is not confined to hypoglycemia as individuals with type 1 diabetes, as opposed to nondiabetic individuals display glucagon hypersecretion after meals, thereby potentially contributing to insulin resistance. The complexity of these phenomena may relate to activation of distinct regulatory pathways controlling glucagon secretion i.e., intra-islet paracrine signaling, direct and autonomic nervous signaling.
