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

objectiveAdult nesidioblastosis is characterized by endogenous hyperinsulinemia typically causing post-prandial hypoglycemia, and most commonly occurs post-Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

methodsWe report a unique case of nesidioblastosis occurring in a 67-year-old female.

resultsA 5-year history of symptomatic hypoglycemia occurred in a patient with short bowel syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) managed previously with a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonist, which achieved significant weight loss. Continuous glucose monitoring captured 42 hypoglycemia episodes in a 2-week period, and following an oral glucose tolerance test there was the suggestion of a hyperinsulinemia state. She was managed with an open distal pancreatectomy, and subsequently required medical therapy to maintain euglycemia.

conclusionWe present the first case of nesidioblastosis occurring in a patient with short bowel syndrome, pre-existing T2DM managed with a GLP-1 agonist which achieved significant weight loss, all of which we speculate could have predisposed to hypoglycemia and development of nesidioblastosis.
