A 26-week, randomized trial of insulin detemir versus NPH insulin in children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes (iDEAt2).
Trial report in European journal of pediatrics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02131272 (A 26-week Open Label, Randomised, 2-armed, Parallel Group, Multi-centre Trial Investigating Efficacy and Safety of Insulin Detemir Versus Insulin Neutral Protamine Hagedorn in Combination With the Maximum Tolerated Dose of Metformin and Diet/Exercise on Glycaemic Control in Children and Adolescents With Type 2 Diabetes Insufficiently Controlled on the Maximum Tolerated Dose of Metformin ± Other Oral Antidiabetic Drug), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
There are limited studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of treatments in young people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study compared the efficacy and safety of insulin detemir versus neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin, both in combination with metformin and lifestyle intervention, in children and adolescents with T2D. This randomized, open-label, phase 3 trial recruited patients (n = 42) aged 10-17 years diagnosed with T2D already receiving metformin ± other oral antidiabetic drugs ± basal insulin. Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive either insulin detemir or NPH insulin, both with the maximum tolerated dose of metformin, and lifestyle intervention, over 26 weeks. Enrollment terminated prematurely after 17 months due to a very slow recruitment rate (12% of the target met). After 26 weeks, the observed mean HbA
conclusionNo safety issues were revealed with either basal insulin. Due to the low number of patients recruited, no efficacy conclusions could be drawn. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02131272. What is known: • There is a growing worldwide epidemic of type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents. • There is a lack of research and limited treatment options currently available in this population. What is new: • No safety issues with insulin detemir or neutral protamine Hagedorn insulin in children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes were observed. • Improving clinical trial recruitment, along with providing early, efficacious, and safe treatment options, in this population is critical.
