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

objectiveTo assess the effect of three premeal timings of rapid-acting insulin on postprandial glucose excursions in type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsTen subjects participated in a three-way randomized crossover trial. Mean ± SD age was 45.5 ± 12.1 years, A1C was 8.55 ± 1.50%, duration of diabetes was 23.8 ± 7.8 years, and duration of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy was 8.5 ± 6.1 years. Insulin aspart was administered at 30, 15, or 0 min before mealtime.

resultsArea under the curve was lower in the -15 stratum (0.41 ± 0.51 mmol/l/min) than that in the -30 stratum (1.89 ± 0.72 mmol/l/min, P = 0.029) and 0 stratum (2.11 ± 0.66 mmol/l/min, P = 0.030). Maximum glucose excursion was lower in the -15 stratum (4.77 ± 0.52 mmol/l) than that in the -30 (6.48 ± 0.76 mmol/l, P = 0.025) and 0 stratum (6.93 ± 0.76 mmol/l, P = 0.022). Peak glucose level was lower in the -15 stratum (9.26 ± 0.72 mmol/l) than that in the -30 stratum (11.74 ± 0.80 mmol/l, P = 0.007) and the 0 stratum (12.29 ± 0.93, P = 0.009). Time spent in the 3.5-10 mmol/l range was higher in the -15 stratum (224.5 ± 25.0 min) than that in the 0 stratum (90.5 ± 23.2 min, P = 0.001). There was no significant difference in occurrence of glucose levels <3.5 mmol/l between strata (P = 0.901).

conclusionsAdministration of rapid-acting insulin analogs 15 min before mealtime results in lower postprandial glucose excursions and more time spent in the 3.5-10.0 mmol/l range, without increased risk of hypoglycemia.
