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

introductionAlthough reduction in the incidence of nocturnal hypoglycemia, as estimated by symptom or self-monitored plasma glucose, was shown to be more pronounced with 300 units/mL insulin glargine (Gla-300) than with 100 units/mL insulin glargine (Gla-100) in type 2 diabetes patients, the exact frequency of nocturnal hypoglycemia estimated with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has not been reported.

methodsForty patients with type 2 diabetes who were admitted for glycemic control with basal-bolus insulin therapy (BBT) were randomized into the Gla-100 and Gla-300 groups. Insulin doses were adjusted to maintain blood glucose levels within 100-120 mg/dL at each meal. Plasma glucose and C-peptide profiles were estimated serially after admission and before discharge. Daily CGM was also performed before discharge.

resultsIn the Gla-100 and Gla-300 groups, the mean duration of hospitalization was 15 ± 2 and 15 ± 1 days, respectively, and the mean basal insulin dose before discharge was 13 ± 7 and 15 ± 10 units, respectively. The dose of meal-time insulin was not different between the two groups. Compared with the Gla-300 group, the Gla-100 group had significantly lower nocturnal profiles of plasma glucose and C-peptide, but significantly higher frequency of CGM-estimated nocturnal hypoglycemia (10.7% ± 18.4% versus 1.2% ± 3.6%, P = 0.033).

conclusionIn type 2 diabetic patients, reduction in the incidence of CGM-estimated nocturnal hypoglycemia by BBT under tightly controlled diet therapy was higher with Gla-300 than with Gla-100.
