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

backgroundImproved insulin infusion set survival and faster insulin action are important issues for pump users and for the development of an artificial pancreas. The current recommendation is to change infusion sets every 3 days. Our objectives were to determine the effect of lipohypertrophy (LH) on infusion set survival and continuous glucose monitoring glucose levels. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsIn this multicenter crossover trial, we recruited 20 subjects (age 28.1 ± 9.0 years) with type 1 diabetes (duration 17.5 ± 8.8 years) and an area of lipohypertrophied tissue >3 cm. Subjects alternated weekly wearing a Teflon infusion set in an area of either LH or non-LH for 4 weeks. Sets were changed after (a) failure or (b) surviving 7 days of use.

resultsThe least-squares mean duration of infusion set survival for sets that lasted <7 days in lipohypertrophied tissue was 4.31 days compared with 4.12 days in nonlipohypertrophied tissue (P = 0.71). The average duration of set survival for individual subjects ranged from 2.2 to 7.0 days. Infusion sets in lipohypertrophied tissue failed due to hyperglycemia in 35% of subjects compared with 23% in nonlipohypertrophied tissue (P = 0.22). Both lipohypertrophied and nonlipohypertrophied tissues displayed a general increase in mean daily glucose after the third day of infusion set wear, but daily mean glucose did not differ by tissue type (P > 0.38 on each day).

conclusionLH did not significantly affect infusion set survival or mean glucose. Achieving optimal infusion set performance requires research into factors affecting set survival. Additionally, the recommendation for duration of set change may need to be individualized.
