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

aimTo estimate the societal costs of Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in France, including direct and indirect costs. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe conducted a descriptive retrospective cross-sectional study on all adult patients (aged 18 and over) with T1D identified in the SFDT1 cohort and compared them to a matched cohort of patients without diabetes considering age, gender, deprivation status and geographical area. An Insurance claim data analysis was conducted for the year 2023 individually and then extrapolated to all of France. Costs were broken down by expense categories and insulin delivery devices.

resultsThe average individual societal cost of T1D in France in 2023 compared with the absence of diabetes was estimated at €9940 (€9340 when considering direct costs only). Nearly half of the identified costs were attributable to the use of medical devices. An analysis stratifying patients by treatment modality (closed-loop, pump or multiple daily injections) highlighted the significant costs associated with the use of the most advanced technologies for delivering insulin (average costs were respectively €13 557, €11 062, and €7004, respectively). The total cost of T1D in France was estimated at between €1.59 and €1.79 billion in 2023 excluding undiagnosed cases and premature mortality associated with the disease.

conclusionsOur results suggest that the most advanced insulin delivery devices have a significant short-term economic impact. Although this paper does not cover the research, model-based studies do suggest that there are some advantages to using such devices, including potential future savings due to lower complication rates.
