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

introductionTo determine the clinical efficacy and economic value of insulin lispro 25-Prandilin 25 vs. insulin lispro 25-Humalog mix 25 in treatment of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS).

methodsThis was a single-center, randomized, case-crossover clinical trial. Participants were randomly allocated to two groups and underwent two kinds of insulin lispro 25 treatment separated by a 1-day washout period. In total, 81 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) above 9% were hospitalized and randomly divided to receive Prandilin 25/Humalog mix 25 or Humalog mix 25/Prandilin 25 treatment. All participants were subjected to metformin therapy simultaneously. Glycemic control was reached after 7-8 days Prandilin 25 or Humalog mix 25 treatment; each patient received continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for 5 consecutive days (from day 1 to day 5). On day 3 of CGM performance, Prandilin 25 treatment was switched to Humalog mix 25 treatment at the same dosage or vice versa. Parameters representing glycemic variability (GV) and postprandial glucose excursions, including 24-h mean blood glucose (24hMBG), 24-h standard deviation of blood glucose (24hSDBG), 24-h mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (24hMAGE), large amplitude of glycemic excursion (LAGE), incremental area under the curve (AUC) for different glucose levels, and postmeal relative areas under the CGM curve (AUCpp) for 1-4 h of each meal, were calculated for each patient.

resultsNo significant differences were found in the 24hMAGE, 24hMBG, 24hSDBG, LAGE, mean 1-h preprandial blood glucose and the incidence of hypoglycemia between the Prandilin 25 treatment group and Humalog mix 25 treatment group. Similarly, there were no between-treatment differences for AUC and time when blood glucose was below 3.9 mmol/l, between 3.9 mmol/l and 10.0 mmol/l, or above 10.0 mmol/l. Further analysis showed the AUCpp for 1-4 h of each meal for two kinds of treatments were similar. However, the mean estimated cost of Prandilin 25 was only 85% of Humalog mix 25 in one treatment course.

conclusionPrandilin 25 is non-inferior in clinical efficacy compared with Humalog mix 25. In view of the significant difference in the cost of the two kinds of insulin lispro 25, Prandilin 25 is a much more cost-effective anti-diabetes drug for management of T2DM.
