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

BACKGROUND/

aimsDumping syndrome is a common complication in children after fundoplication and other gastric surgeries and is characterized by postprandial hypoglycemia (PPH). Children with PPH have an exaggerated GLP-1 response to a meal with an exaggerated insulin surge and subsequent hypoglycemia. We evaluated the role of GLP-1 in the pathogenesis of PPH by examining the effects of GLP-1 receptor blockade on glucose and insulin response to a meal.

methodsSix children with known PPH after surgery underwent a mixed meal tolerance test with/without the GLP-1 receptor antagonist exendin-(9-39) using an open-label crossover design.

resultsAverage nadir plasma glucose concentration was ≥65 mg/dl in all treatment conditions; however, 3 out of the 6 subjects had a nadir plasma glucose <65 mg/dl during vehicle infusion, while only 1 out of the 6 had a nadir plasma glucose <65 mg/dl during infusion of exendin-(9-39). Exendin-(9-39) suppressed postmeal insulin concentrations when compared to vehicle, with a lower peak insulin concentration observed in the children who received 500 pmol/kg/min of exendin-(9-39) (131.3 ± 125.1 pmol/l) compared to children who received 300 pmol/kg/min (231.1 ± 153.4 pmol/l) or vehicle (259.7 ± 120.2 pmol/l). Gastric emptying was not different between groups.

conclusionOur results suggest that the exaggerated insulin response to a meal is at least in part due to the effects of GLP-1 on the pancreatic β-cell and suggest that GLP-1 receptor antagonists may represent a potential avenue of treatment for children with PPH.
