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

Purpose: This research was intended to explore the effects of new-generation basal insulin (degludec U100 And glargine U300) versus long-acting basal insulin (glargine U100, detemir) on the incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis episodes and diabetes treatment measures. Patients and methods: This is a cross-sectional, retrospective medical record analysis. The study population included adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) who were on the hospital records in 2020. Data were collected from 221 eligible participants through review of electronic medical records. Each record was scanned for basal insulin type, total daily insulin dose, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) occurrences, and glycated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) levels. Data were collected from 6 months before to 6 months after the initiation of ultra-long-acting insulin. Statistical analysis was conducted using R version 3.5.2. The normality of distribution for each independent variable was verified using Shapiro-Wilk tests. The independent paired Results: The HbA1c did not change significantly before and after ultra-long-acting insulin therapy was initiated (9.9 vs 9.8, respectively; Conclusion: The frequency of DKA episodes was not affected by changing the treatment to ultra-long-acting insulin. Moreover, the results suggest that insulin dosage and types are not the only cause of uncontrolled diabetes. Additional efforts should be made to cover all factors affecting diabetes complication control.
