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

backgroundA variety of metrics are used to describe glycemic variation, some of which may be difficult to comprehend or require complex strategies for smoothing of the glucose curve. We aimed to describe a new metric named time with rapid change of glucose (TRC), which is presented as percentage of time, similar to time above range (TAR), time in range (TIR), and time below range (TBR).

methodWe downloaded glucose data for 90 days from 159 persons with type 1 diabetes using the Abbott Freestyle Libre version 1. We defined TRC as the proportion of time (%) with an absolute rate of change of glucose > 1.5 mmol/L/15 minutes (1.8mg/dL/min) corresponding to a minimum rate of change for glucose in the 3.9-10.0 mmol/L (70-180 mg/dL) range within 1 hour. TRC is related to the other glucose variability metrics: CV within day (CVw) and mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE).

resultsThe more than 1.27 million glucose rates were t-location scale distributed with SD 0.91 mmol/L/15 min (1.1 mg/dL/15 min). The median TRC was 6.9% (IQR 4.5%-9.5%). The proportion of TRC with positive slope was 3.9% (2.6%-5.3%) and significantly higher than the proportion with negative slope 2.8% (1.5%-4.4%)

conclusionTRC is proposed as an easily perceived metric to compare the performance of hybrid or fully automated closed-loop insulin delivery systems to obtain glucose homeostasis.
