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

introductionSimultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation normalizes glycemia in patients with diabetes and end-stage kidney disease, yet data on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) remain scarce.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed CGM metrics in SPK recipients using FreeStyle Libre 2®, comparing pre- and post-transplant profiles.

resultsAmong n = 19 recipients, only n = 14 continued CGM use after transplantation (n = 9 continuously during the entire study period). Within 1 month, all CGM metrics improved significantly, including increased time-in-range (54.21 vs. 83.85%) and time-in-tight-range (TITR; 33.45 vs. 69.77%), and reduced glucose variability (p < 0.05 for all comparisons), with stability over 24 months. Optimal graft function was associated with superior CGM outcomes, notably higher TITR and lower mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE; p < 0.05). However, hypoglycemia-related targets were not consistently achieved despite otherwise optimal graft performance.

conclusionsSPK transplantation was linked to rapid and sustained improvement in CGM profiles. These findings underscore CGM's value for monitoring graft function and support its integration into post-transplant care to optimize metabolic outcomes.
