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

The aim of the study was to determine whether reactive hypoglycaemia in pancreas transplant recipients that followed administration of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) was associated with excessive insulin, insufficient glucagon, or both. Methodology involved six portally drained pancreas recipients who received GLP-1 (1.5 pmol/kg/min) or placebo infusion on randomized occasions during glucose-potentiated arginine testing. The second subject developed symptomatic hypoglycaemia [plasma glucose (PG) 42 mg/dl] 1 h after GLP-1 administration; subsequent subjects received intravenous glucose following GLP-1, but not placebo, infusion for PG levels <65 mg/dl. Following GLP-1 vs. placebo infusion, PG was lower (58 +/- 4 vs. 76 +/- 5 mg/dl; p < 0.05) despite administration of intravenous glucose. During hypoglycaemia, insulin levels and the insulin-to-glucagon ratio were greater after GLP-1 vs. placebo infusion (p < 0.05), while glucagon did not vary. It can be concluded from the study that GLP-1 can induce reactive hypoglycaemia in pancreas transplant recipients through excessive insulin secretion associated with an increased insulin-to-glucagon ratio.
