Marked Increases in Continuous Glucose Monitor-Detected Hypoglycemia During a Seven-Day Water-Only Fast in Healthy Men and Women.

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
backgroundMultiday fasting is practiced globally for various health or religious reasons which can cause marked declines in circulating glucose levels. Yet, the extent of hypoglycemia exposure (ie, blood glucose <70 mg/dL), as measured by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) during a prolonged fast is unclear. We aimed to determine the distribution of interstitial glucose data as measured by CGM, during a seven-day water-only fast in healthy men and women.
methodsThis study used interstitial glucose levels from CGM (Dexcom G4 Platinum) to profile hypoglycemic exposure during a seven-day water-only fast in 12 healthy adults (seven men; age 29.7 ± 6.1 years; body mass index [BMI] 25.0 ± 3.3 kg/m²) that also included physical performance tests (day 6) and an oral glucose tolerance test (day 7).
resultsTime <70 mg/dL increased from 3.0% ± 7.1% at baseline to 66.0% ± 25.7% by day 5 (
conclusionsThis research demonstrated considerable hypoglycemia exposure occurs without symptoms in heathy men and women who undertake multiday fasting.
