Review in Journal of diabetes science and technology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Glycemic control is the mainstay of preventing diabetes complications at the expense of increased risk of hypoglycemia. Severe hypoglycemia negatively impacts the quality of life of patients with type 1 diabetes and can lead to morbidity and mortality. Currently available glucagon emergency kits are effective at treating hypoglycemia when correctly used, however use is complicated especially by untrained persons. Better formulations and devices for glucagon treatment of hypoglycemia are needed, specifically stable liquid glucagon. Out of the scope of this review, other potential uses of stable liquid glucagon include congenital hyperinsulinism, post-bariatric surgery hypoglycemia, and insulinoma induced hypoglycemia. In the 35 years since Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the first liquid stable human recombinant insulin, we continue to wait for the glucagon counterpart. For mild hypoglycemia, a commercially available liquid stable glucagon would enable more widespread implementation of mini-dose glucagon use as well as glucagon in dual hormone closed-loop systems. This review focuses on the current and upcoming pharmaceutical uses of glucagon in the treatment of type 1 diabetes with an outlook on stable liquid glucagon preparations that will hopefully be available for use in patients in the near future.
