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

aimsTo identify cost-of-illness studies of Type 1 diabetes mellitus (Type 1 DM) in the United Kingdom (UK) and review this literature to estimate the current cost of Type 1 DM to the UK National Health Service.

methodsBibliographic databases and grey literature were searched systematically to identify all published and unpublished reporting of the costs of Type 1 DM in the UK. Studies were excluded if they did not present cost information from the UK or did not disaggregate information by diabetes type. Three grey literature sources and 11 published studies were identified for inclusion in the literature review.

resultsThe included studies and reports covered topics including the overall cost of Type 1 DM, costs of individual diabetic complications and costs of specific interventions for Type 1 DM. The most recent published estimate of the cost of Type 1 DM was over 15 years old, and although this estimate has been inflated to current prices the estimate is not adjusted for changes to treatment pathways over this period and is therefore not considered an accurate estimate of current costs of Type 1 DM.

conclusionsThere is no recently published estimate of the cost of Type 1 DM in the UK; therefore, it is recommended that an up-to-date national, comprehensive cost-of-illness study should be conducted. Recommendations for the format of this study are made, including extending the scope to cover recent treatment developments and resource use where diabetes is a subsidiary diagnosis.
