Blockade of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor corrects postprandial hypoglycemia after gastric bypass.
Article in Gastroenterology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 123 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND &
aimsPostprandial glycemia excursions increase after gastric bypass surgery; this effect is even greater among patients with recurrent hypoglycemia. These patients also have increased postprandial levels of insulin and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). We performed a clinical trial to determine the role of GLP-1 in postprandial glycemia in patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia syndrome after gastric bypass.
methodsNine patients with recurrent hypoglycemia after gastric bypass (H-GB), 7 patients who were asymptomatic after gastric bypass (A-GB), and 8 healthy control subjects underwent a mixed-meal tolerance test (350 kcal) using a dual glucose tracer method on 2 separate days. On 1 day they received continuous infusion of the GLP-1 receptor antagonist exendin (9-39) (Ex-9), and on the other day they received a saline control. Glucose kinetics and islet and gut hormone responses were measured before and after the meal.
resultsInfusion of Ex-9 corrected hypoglycemia in all patients with H-GB. The reduction in postprandial insulin secretion by Ex-9 was greater in the H-GB group than in the other groups (H-GB, 50% ± 8%; A-GB, 13% ± 10%; controls, 14% ± 10%) (P < .05). The meal-derived glucose appearance was significantly greater in subjects who had undergone gastric bypass compared to the controls and in the H-GB group compared to the A-GB group. Ex-9 shortened the time to reach peak meal-derived glucose appearance in all groups without a significant effect on overall glucose flux. Postprandial glucagon levels were higher among patients who had undergone gastric bypass than controls and increased with administration of Ex-9.
conclusionsHypoglycemia after gastric bypass can be corrected by administration of a GLP-1 receptor antagonist, which might be used to treat this disorder. These findings are consistent with reports that increased GLP-1 activity contributes to hypoglycemia after gastric bypass. ClinicalTrials.gov, Number: NCT01803451.
