A Case of Insulin Edema Syndrome Improved by Weekly Insulin.

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
Insulin edema is a rare complication of insulin therapy, typically occurring during treatment initiation or intensification. We report a 55-year-old woman with a longstanding diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (hemoglobin A1c 11.8% [4.3%-6.0%]) with low adherence to insulin therapy due to the rapid onset of peripheral edema and weight gain following insulin injections. Secondary etiologies of edema were ruled out, and she was diagnosed with insulin edema syndrome. Various types of insulin were tried, including an automated insulin delivery, which worsened her edema and weight gain, leading to discontinuation of all insulins. She was later diagnosed with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults. Weekly insulin icodec was introduced, which was well-tolerated by the patient and improved her adherence to therapy and her insulin edema without significant weight gain. Insulin edema is a diagnosis of exclusion, and clinicians should be aware of this clinical entity. The use of third-generation long-acting insulin analog may be helpful in some patients with this syndrome.
