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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the devastating 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake on the glycemic control of children with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) in Adana, Turkey. Additionally, the study aimed to assess the impact of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device assistance on glycemic control after the earthquake. MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective study was conducted involving 134 children with T1DM receiving intensive insulin treatment. Participants were divided into 2 groups: CGM (+) (n = 58), who benefited from CGM device assistance, and CGM (-) (n = 76), who did not utilize CGM device after the earthquake. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were recorded before and after the earthquake.

resultsFollowing the earthquake, the median HbA1c for all participants changed insignificantly from 8.9% to 8.6% (P = .491). However, in the CGM (+) group, HbA1c levels significantly improved post earthquake (P = .001). Conversely, the CGM (-) group experienced a deterioration in glycemic control (P = .027). A 2-way repeated measures ANOVA revealed a significant interaction effect between CGM device usage and the earthquake on HbA1c levels (F = 17.257, P <.001). Subgroup analysis based on age indicated that the effectiveness of CGM was more pronounced in adolescents (≥12 years) than in younger children (<12 years).

conclusionThis study highlights the adverse impact of the earthquake on glycemic control in children with T1DM and underscores the effectiveness of CGM in improving glycemic control, particularly among adolescents. The provision of CGM devices following the earthquake led to enhanced outcomes, mitigating the negative effects of the disaster on glycemic control.
