Clinical outcomes in real-world patients with type 2 diabetes switching from first- to second-generation basal insulin analogues: Comparative effectiveness of insulin glargine 300 units/mL and insulin degludec in the DELIVER D+ cohort study.

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
aimsTo compare clinical outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) switching from insulin glargine 100 units/mL (Gla-100) or insulin detemir (IDet) to insulin glargine 300 units/mL (Gla-300) or insulin degludec (IDeg). MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a retrospective, observational study of electronic medical records for Gla-300/IDeg adult switchers (March 1, 2015 to January 31, 2017) with active records for 12-month baseline (glycated haemoglobin [HbA1c] used a 6-month baseline period) and 6-month follow-up periods. Gla-300 and IDeg switchers were propensity score-matched using baseline demographic and clinical characteristics. Outcomes were HbA1c change and goal attainment (among patients with HbA1c captured at follow-up), and hypoglycaemia with fixed follow-up (intention-to-treat [ITT]; 6 months) and variable follow-up (on-treatment [OT]; to discontinuation or 6 months).
resultsEach matched cohort comprised 1592 patients. The mean decrease in HbA1c and HbA1c goal (<7.0% [53 mmol/mol] and <8.0% [64 mmol/mol]) attainment rates were similar for Gla-300 (n = 742) and IDeg (n = 727) switchers. Using fixed follow-up (ITT method), hypoglycaemia incidence decreased significantly from baseline with Gla-300 (all hypoglycaemia: 15.6% to 12.7%; P = .006; hypoglycaemia associated with inpatient/emergency department [ED] encounter: 5.3% to 3.5%; P = .007), but not with IDeg. After adjusting for baseline hypoglycaemia, no significant differences in hypoglycaemia incidence and event rate were found at follow-up (ITT) for Gla-300 vs IDeg. Using variable follow-up (OT), hypoglycaemia incidence was similar in both groups, but Gla-300 switchers had a lower inpatient/ED hypoglycaemia event rate at follow-up (adjusted rate ratio 0.56; P = .016).
conclusionsIn a real-world setting, switching from Gla-100 or IDet to Gla-300 or IDeg was associated with similar improvements in glycaemic control and hypoglycaemia in adult patients with T2D.
