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

backgroundPump-treated patients with type 1 diabetes have widely differing basal insulin infusion profiles. We analyzed consequences of such heterogeneity for glycemic control under fasting conditions.

methodsData from 339 adult patients with type 1 diabetes on insulin pump therapy undergoing a 24-hour fast (basal rate test) were retrospectively analyzed. Hourly programmed basal insulin infusion rates and plasma glucose concentrations as well as their proportions within, below, or above arbitrarily defined target ranges were assessed for specific periods of the day (eg, 1-7 hours, "dawn" period, 16-19 hours, "dusk" period, reference period 20-1 hours/10-14 hours), by tertiles of a predefined "dawn" index (mean basal insulin infusion rate during the "dawn" divided by the reference periods).

resultsThe "dawn" index varied interindividually from 0.7 to 4.4. Basal insulin infusion profiles exhibited substantial differences (

conclusionsWe observe substantial interindividual heterogeneity in the "dawn" phenomenon. However, widely different empirically derived basal insulin infusion profiles appear appropriate for individual patients, as indicated by similar plasma glucose concentrations, mainly in the target range, during a 24-hour fasting period.
