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

introductionRecommended pregnancy specific Time in Range (TIR) 63-140 mg/dl is a quite wide range and, even if the goal of > 70% is achieved, the specific targets for fasting and mean glycaemia, which are much lower than 140 mg/dl, could not be complied. This case series aimed to explore the performance of an Advanced Hybrid closed Loop (AHCL) in pregnancy on a stricter glycaemic range.

methodsWe collected retrospective data about recommended glucose metrics and an hypothetic TITR 63-95 mg/dl, more suitable for fasting periods, from 11 type 1 diabetes patients, using Medtronic MiniMed™ 780G, with glucose target 100 mg/dl and Active Insulin Time 2 h, from preconceptional phase until delivery.

resultsTIR 63-140 mg/dl quickly improved throughout pregnancy, with progressively improving HbA1c and no significant changes in Time Below Range (TBR). TITR 63-95 mg/dl was 26% in the 1st trimester, 20% in the 2nd and 30% in the 3rd, corresponding to 6, 5 and 7 h per day, less than the hypothetic 8/24 hours of fasting. TAR > 140 reduced more compared to TAR > 95, reflecting a greater improve in postprandial values than in fasting.

conclusionsAlthough the AHCL Medtronic MiniMed™ 780G helped improving glycaemic control during pregnancy, our patients spent very few hours in the range 63-95 mg/dl, probably because they did not reach fasting glucose goals. A stricter TIR may be hypothesized for pregnant women too, as an additional goal along with TIR 63-140 mg/dl, but studies are needed to explore the consequences on maternal and fetal outcomes.
