The Relationship Between Hemoglobin A1c, Time in Range, and Glycemic Management Indicator in Patients With Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Saudi Arabia.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThis study aimed to assess the correlation between glycated hemoglobin A1 (HbA1c), time in range (TIR), and glycemic management indicator (GMI) in patients with both type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) who were using a flash glucose monitoring (FGM) device (FreeStyle Libre; Abbott Diabetic Care, Witney, UK).
methodsThis was a retrospective study that looked at T1D and T2D FreeStyle Libre users' LibreView database in the period between January 2020 to June 2022. The study was conducted at the diabetes department at the King Fahad Medical City (KFMC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, following Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval. Data were collected from the LibreView website, as well as from the electronic privacy information center (EPIC) hospital records.
resultsData were available for 327 patients, mean age of 33.08(±17.1) years old, and 55.7% were females. HbA1c had a statistically significant correlation with both TIR and GMI with coefficient of correlation (r) values of 0.78 (p<0.001) and 0.82 (p<0.001), respectively. A linear regression model between TIR and Hb1Ac was also developed and found to be statistically significant (p<0.001) with an acceptable R
conclusionStudy findings revealed that the %TIR could be a reliable predictor of Hb1Ac. Thus, Freestyle Libre was able to determine Hb1Ac as close to the lab results as possible. Therefore, it is necessary to encourage diabetes patients to achieve at least 70% TIR in order to keep Hb1Ac within the desired range.
