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

purposePost-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) can lead to significant morbidity and cardiovascular death with a functioning graft. A paucity of literature exists regarding glycemic control in solid-organ transplant (SOT) recipients, including pharmacist management of PTDM. This study aimed to assess the impact of pharmacist interventions on diabetes management in a pharmacist-run PTDM clinic.

methodsThis was a single-center, prospective, observational study of 24 adult SOT recipients enrolled in a pilot pharmacist-managed PTDM clinic from 1 January to 30 June 2015.

resultsImprovements were realized in markers of glycemic control, including changes in A1C, average daily self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) results, fasting SMBG results, and pre-lunch SMBG results from enrollment through at least 3 months of follow-up. Median A1C decreased significantly from 8.05% (interquartile range [IQR] 6.33-11.75) at baseline to 6.45% (IQR 6.05-7.3) at the last follow-up encounter (

conclusionThe results of our study demonstrate that a pharmacist-managed PTDM clinic can significantly affect glycemic control in SOT recipients.
