Change in hemoglobin A1c one year following the 2014 American Diabetes Association guideline update.
Article in Diabetes research and clinical practice, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimsIn June 2014, the American Diabetes Association lowered recommended hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) targets from <8.5% (69mmol/mol) for children <6years of age and from <8.0% (64mmol/mol) for children 6-12years of age to <7.5% (58mmol/mol). Lower target HbA1c may lead to better glycemic control but could increase the risk of severe hypoglycemia.
methodsPatients with type 1 diabetes >1year duration, age 0-12years and seen in our center between January 1 and June 30, 2014 or between January 1 and June 30, 2015 were included. 1013 unique patients had 2684 encounters. We analyzed first quarterly HbA1c (January-March, April-June) and self-reported severe hypoglycemia at all clinic encounters.
resultsHbA1c across the age span and within the 0-<6, 6-12, and 0-12year old groups did not differ in the insurance adjusted mixed-effects model. Least squares means for all patients' HbA1c in 2014 was 8.59±0.04 (70±0.5mmol/mol); for 2015, 8.60±0.04 (70±0.5mmol/mol) (p=0.90). Severe hypoglycemia data fields were more complete in 2015 (43% vs 50%). Logistic regression adjusting for follow up showed no difference in severe hypoglycemia for all ages (p=0.80).
conclusionsHbA1c did not change 1year after the updated guidelines despite adoption of the new targets. Assessing changes in severe hypoglycemia may require larger, prospective datasets or longer observation.
