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

backgroundHyperglycemia in premature infants is usually thought to reflect inadequate pancreatic development rather than monogenic neonatal diabetes. No studies, to our knowledge, have investigated the prevalence of monogenic forms of diabetes in preterm infants.

methodsWe studied 750 patients with diabetes diagnosed before 6 months of age. We compared the genetic etiology and clinical characteristics of 146 preterm patients born <37 weeks and compared them with 604 born ≥37 weeks.

resultsA genetic etiology was found in 97/146 (66%) preterm infants compared with 501/604 (83%) born ≥37weeks, P < .0001. Chromosome 6q24 imprinting abnormalities (27% vs 12%, P = .0001) and GATA6 mutations (9% vs 2%, P = .003) occurred more commonly in preterm than term infants while mutations in KCNJ11 were less common (21 vs 34%, P = .008). Preterm patients with an identified mutation were diagnosed later than those without an identified mutation (median [interquartile range] 35 [34 to 36] weeks vs 31 [28 to 36] weeks, P < .0001). No difference was seen in other clinical characteristics of preterm patients with and without an identified mutation including age of presentation, birth weight, and time to referral.

conclusionsPatients with neonatal diabetes due to a monogenic etiology can be born preterm, especially those with 6q24 abnormalities or GATA6 mutations. A genetic etiology is more likely in patients with less severe prematurity (>32 weeks). Prematurity should not prevent referral for genetic testing as 37% have a potassium channel mutation and as a result can get improved control by replacing insulin with sulphonylurea therapy.
