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

introductionType 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by worsening pancreatic β-cell function often requiring treatment escalation with oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs), glucagon-like peptide-1 and eventually insulin. Although there is much evidence available on the initiation of basal insulins, fewer studies have investigated the effects of switching from one basal insulin to another. This study aims to evaluate treatment persistence and hypoglycaemia in adult patients with T2D on prior basal insulin who were switched to insulin glargine 300 units/mL (Gla-300) or other basal insulins in a real-world setting. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis study is a retrospective cohort analysis of patient-level data extracted from the Optum

resultsOf the included patients, 1204 switched to Gla-300 and 616 switched to other basal insulins. Adjusting for baseline confounders, patients who switched to Gla-300 were 34% less likely to discontinue their basal insulin than patients who switched to other basal insulins (hazard ratio [HR] 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.54-0.81;

conclusionsPatients with T2D on prior basal insulin in a real-world setting who switched to Gla-300 were more persistent with their basal insulin and experienced less hypoglycaemia than patients who switched to other basal insulins.
