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

aimsAlbuminuria within the normal range may predict an increased risk of subsequent nephropathy in type 1 diabetes (T1D). The role of sustained hyperglycaemia in the development of nephropathy is well-known. The relationship between albuminuria within the normal range and parameters of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in childhood has not yet been investigated. The aim of the present study was to analyze this relationship in young T1D patients.

methodsA total of 54 normoalbuminuric, normotensive, real time CGM user pubertal children and adolescents with T1D were recruited for this study. Patients with medium to high normal (1.0-2.9 mg/mmol; n = 18) and those with low normal (< 1.0 mg/mmol; n = 36) urinary albumin-to-creatinin ratio (UACR) were compared regarding CGM metrics data. Relationships of UACR with clinical variables and CGM-derived metrics were analysed by multiple logistic regression.

resultsTime in range (TIR) was lower in medium to high normal UACR patients than in low normal UACR patients (mean ± SD: 58.2 ± 8.4% vs. 64.5 ± 10.1%, p = 0.0199). Patients with medium to high normal UACR had a higher coefficient of variation for mean glucose (CV) than those with low normal UACR (42.4 ± 6.0% vs. 38.0 ± 6.1%, p = 0.0163). UACR was related to TIR (r=-0.55, p = 0.02), to CV (r=-0.51, p = 0.04) and to mean glucose (MG) (r=-0.48, p = 0.05). TIR, CV and puberty proved to be independently predictive for medium to high normal UACR [adjusted RR (95% CI): 0.70 (0.58-0.92), p = 0.0231; 1.28 (1.02-1.67), p = 0.0222; 1.19 (1.10-1.36), p = 0.0321, respectively].

conclusionThe duration of the blood glucose level within the target range and the extent of its fluctuation may contribute to the early increase in albumin excretion within the normal range, which may play a role in the development of later complications of childhood T1D.
