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

contextPostprandial hypoglycemia (PPH) is a frequent complication of Nissen fundoplication in children. The mechanism responsible for the PPH is poorly understood, but involves an exaggerated insulin response to a meal and subsequent hypoglycemia. We hypothesize that increased glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion contributes to the exaggerated insulin surge and plays a role in the pathophysiology of this disorder.

objectiveThe aim of the study was to characterize glucose, insulin, and GLP-1 response to an oral glucose load in children with symptoms of PPH after Nissen fundoplication.

designTen patients with suspected PPH and a history of Nissen fundoplication and eight control subjects underwent a standard oral glucose tolerance test at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Blood glucose (BG), insulin, and intact GLP-1 levels were obtained at various time points.

participantsChildren ages 4 months to 13 years old were studied.

main outcome measuresChange scores for glucose, insulin, and intact GLP-1 were recorded after an oral glucose tolerance test.

resultsAll cases had hypoglycemia after the glucose load. Mean BG at nadir (+/- sd) was 46.7 +/- 11 mg/dl for cases (vs. 85.9 +/- 21.3 mg/dl; P < 0.0005). Mean change in BG from baseline to peak (+/- sd) was 179.3 +/- 87.4 mg/dl for cases (vs. 57.8 +/- 39.5 mg/dl; P = 0.003). Mean change in BG (+/- sd) from peak to nadir was 214.4 +/- 85.9 mg/dl for cases (vs. 55.9 +/- 41.1 mg/dl, P < 0.0005). Mean change in insulin (+/- sd) from baseline to peak was 224.3 +/- 313.7 microIU/ml for cases (vs. 35.5 +/- 22.2 microIU/ml; P = 0.012). Mean change in GLP-1 (+/- sd) from baseline to peak was 31.2 +/- 24 pm (vs. 6.2 +/- 9.5 pm; P = 0.014).

conclusionsChildren with PPH after Nissen fundoplication have abnormally exaggerated secretion of GLP-1, which may contribute to the exaggerated insulin surge and resultant hypoglycemia.
