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.

Abstract

Background: Self-management of blood glucose levels to avoid hypoglycemia is vital for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The association between specific metrics of glycemic variability (glycosylated hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] and fasting plasma glucose [FPG]) and severe hypoglycemia has not been fully studied in patients with T2DM. Methods: In this Results: After adjusting for confounders, each increase in HbA1c variability of 1 standard deviation (SD) indicated a higher risk of HAA (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.10; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-1.16; P < 0.01) and HMA events (HR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.03-1.20; P < 0.01). Meanwhile, each increase in FPG variability of 1 SD increased the risk of HAA (HR: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.31-1.49; P < 0.01) and HMA events (HR: 1.46; 95% CI: 1.35-1.57; P < 0.01). Meanwhile, models, including FPG variability, had better prognostic value for our predefined outcomes than HbA1c variability (P < 0.01). Conclusions: Increased visit-to-visit variability in HbA1c and fasting glycemia is associated with a greater risk of severe hypoglycemic events in T2DM patients. FPG variability is a more sensitive indicator than HbA1c variability. Trial registration: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00000620.
