USE OF A CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITOR FOR PREOPERATIVE MONITORING AND TREATMENT OF HYPOGLYCEMIA IN A CASE OF PANCREATIC NEUROENDOCRINE TUMOR.
Article in AACE clinical case reports. 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
objectivePancreatic neuroendocrine tumors secreting proinsulin and insulin could lead to life-threatening hypoglycemia. We aim to show this can be avoided by utilizing continuous glucose monitoring.
methodsWe describe a case of a 55-year-old female with hypoglycemia unawareness and seizures diagnosed with proinsulinoma. She utilized an intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitor (isCGM) to monitor hypoglycemia preoperatively.
resultsThe patient underwent biochemical and radiographic evaluation to confirm the diagnosis of proinsulinoma. Utilizing isCGM to monitor blood glucose, she was able to prevent hypoglycemia-related seizures prior to definitive surgery.
conclusionIn the time leading up to a definitive surgery, patients with proinsulinomas are at risk of hypoglycemic events leading to falls, seizures, and even death. isCGMs can be utilized for preoperative monitoring and treatment of hypoglycemia in these patients.
