Influence of Flexible Insulin Dosing with Carbohydrate Counting Method on Metabolic and Clinical Parameters in Type 1 Diabetes Patients.
Article in Open access Macedonian journal of medical sciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveThe purpose of providing and maintaining a proper metabolic control is to prevent the development of chronic complications. In this study, we aimed to determine the influence of flexible insulin dosing with carbohydrate counting method on metabolic and clinical parameters in type 1 diabetes patients. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis study was conducted with patients following up at the Endocrinology Clinic with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus between 2012 and 2015. Metabolic and clinical parameters before and after carbohydrate counting were compared.
resultsForty patients were included in the study. Of the patients, 40% (n = 16) were female, and 60% (n = 24) were male, and mean age was 21.5 ± 7 year at the time of diagnosis. Statistically significant differences were not detected when haemoglobin A1c, fasting plasma glucose, post-prandial glucose, LDL-cholesterol, and HDL-cholesterol levels were compared at standard dose insulin use and after carbohydrate counting (P < 0.005). Among the parameters measured when the patients received standard dose of insulin without counting carbohydrate and flexible insulin dosing by counting carbohydrate, statistically, significant differences were not detected for baseline insulin dose, bolus insulin dose, triglyceride level, body mass index, or monthly hypoglycemia episodes (P > 0.05).
conclusionFlexible insulin dosing with carbohydrate counting provides significant improvements in clinical and metabolic control. We detected improvements in lipid profiles and glycemic control. Additionally, patients generally did not gain weight despite flexible nutrition, and frequency of hypoglycemia remained unchanged despite strict glycemic control.
