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

objectivesThe goals of this study were to develop (1) a safe and effective protocol for the clinical control of type 1 diabetes using conventional self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) measurements and multiple daily injections with insulin analogues, and (2) an in silico simulation tool of type 1 diabetes to predict long-term glycemic control outcomes of clinical interventions.

methodsThe virtual patient method was used to develop a simulation tool for type 1 diabetes using data from a type 1 diabetes patient cohort (n = 40). The tool was used to test the adaptive protocol (AC) and a conventional intensive insulin therapy (CC) against results from a representative control cohort. Optimal and suboptimal basal insulin replacements were evaluated as a function of SMBG frequency in conjunction with the (AC and CC) prandial control protocols.

resultsIn long-term glycemic control, the AC protocol significantly decreased hemoglobin A1c in conditions of suboptimal basal insulin replacement for SMBG frequencies > or = 6/day, and reduced the occurrence of mild and severe hypoglycemia by 86-100% over controls, over all SMBG frequencies in conditions of optimal basal insulin.

conclusionsA simulation tool to predict long-term glycemic control outcomes from clinical interventions has been developed to test a novel, adaptive control protocol for type 1 diabetes. The protocol is effective and safe compared to conventional intensive insulin therapy and controls. As fear of hypoglycemia is a large psychological barrier to glycemic control, the AC protocol may represent the next evolution of intensive insulin therapy to deliver increased glycemic control with increased safety. Further clinical or experimental validation is needed to fully prove the concept.
