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

backgroundTime at high risk of hypoglycemia (THRH), 3.9 to 5.6 mmol/L, is a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-based metric recommended for reporting in hospitalized patients. This study aims to validate THRH as a predictor of hypoglycemia.

methodsThe CGM data from 166 non-intensive care unit (non-ICU) inpatients with type 2 diabetes from the DIATEC trial were analyzed. All participants received basal-bolus insulin therapy. Of these, 82 were monitored with point-of-care glucose testing and blinded CGM, while 84 had open CGM. Linear and negative binomial regression analyses assessed the relationship between THRH and time below range (TBR) (<3.0 mmol/L, 3.0-3.9 mmol/L, and <3.9 mmol/L) and hypoglycemic events. Analyses were conducted for day (07:00-23:00), night (23:01-06:59), and 24-hour periods.

resultsFor CGM-monitored patients, every 10%-point increase in THRH was associated with a 0.13%-point increase in TBR (<3.0 mmol/L) (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.06-0.21), 0.66%-point increase in TBR (3.0-3.9 mmol/L) (95% CI = 0.47-0.86), and 0.74%-point increase in TBR (<3.9 mmol/L) (95% CI = 0.51-0.97), all

conclusionsThe THRH is strongly associated with hypoglycemia in non-ICU hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes on basal-bolus insulin. Aiming for THRH below 50% aligns with the recommended TBR target of <3.9 mmol/L below 4%, supporting THRH's role in guiding hypoglycemia prevention strategies.
