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

Although the short-term mortality of patients with COVID-19 infection and hyperglycemia has been well documented, there is little available data regarding longer-term prognosis. The presence of diabetes has not only influenced disease severity but has also impacted its transmission dynamics. In this study, we followed a historical cohort of patients without previous history of diabetes who presented with moderate to severe COVID-19 and were found to have hyperglycemia (random blood glucose > 140 mg/dL) at the time of admission. We evaluated the need for antidiabetic therapy in these patients at the end of 6 months and the risk factors associated with persistent hyperglycemia determined by monthly values of self-monitored blood glucose. Of the seventy participants who were followed telephonically, 54 (77%) continued to receive antidiabetic therapy or have persistent hyperglycemia (> 140 mg/dL) at the end of 6 months. Persistent hyperglycemia at the end of follow-up, was found to be associated with a higher blood glucose at presentation.
