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

Insulin therapy in the setting of type 1 and advanced type 2 diabetes is complicated by increased risk of hypoglycemia. This potentially fatal complication could be mitigated by a glucose-responsive insulin analog. We report an insulin-facilitated glucose transporter (Glut) inhibitor conjugate, in which the insulin molecule is rendered glucose-responsive via conjugation to an inhibitor of Glut. The binding affinity of this insulin analog to endogenous Glut is modulated by plasma and tissue glucose levels. In hyperglycemic conditions (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes or the postprandial state), the in situ-generated insulin analog-Glut complex is driven to dissociate, freeing the insulin analog and glucose-accessible Glut to restore normoglycemia. Upon overdose, enhanced binding of insulin analog to Glut suppresses the glucose transport activity of Glut to attenuate further uptake of glucose. We demonstrate the ability of this insulin conjugate to regulate blood glucose levels within a normal range while mitigating the risk of hypoglycemia in a type 1 diabetic mouse model.
