Physiologic hormone administration improves HbA1C in Native Americans with type 2 diabetes: A retrospective study and review of insulin secretion and action.
Review in Obesity reviews : an official journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06216665 (Effect of Pulsatile Hormone Administration on Insulin Action), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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.

Abstract
Insulin is secreted in pulses from pancreatic beta-cells, and these oscillations maintain fasting plasma glucose levels within a narrow normal range. Within islets, beta-cells exhibit tight synchronization of regular oscillations. This control circuit is disrupted in type 2 diabetes, and irregularities in pulse frequency and amplitude occur. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is three times higher in American Indian and Native Alaskans compared to Whites, and their genetic ancestry is associated with low beta-cell function. Obesity in this population compounds their vulnerability to adverse outcomes. The purpose of this article is to review insulin secretion and action and its interaction with race. We also present the results from a 6-month retrospective chart review of metabolic outcomes following intravenous physiologic hormone administration to 10 Native Americans. We found reductions in hemoglobin A1C (baseline: 9.03% ± 2.08%, 6 months: 7.03% ± 0.73%, p = 0.008), fasting glucose (baseline: 176.0 ± 42.85 mg/dL, 6 months: 137.11 ± 17.05 mg/dL, p = 0.02), homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (baseline: 10.39 ± 4.66, 6 months: 7.74 ± 4.22, p = 0.008), and triglycerides (baseline: 212.20 ± 101.44, 6 months: 165.50 ± 76.48 mg/dL, p = 0.02). Physiologic hormone administration may improve components of the metabolic syndrome. The therapy warrants investigation in randomized controlled trials.
