Clinical and metabolic characteristics of children with hybrid diabetes mellitus (HD) compared to children with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM): A preliminary comparative study.

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
backgroundThe term double diabetes or "Hybrid Diabetes (HD)" describes diabetes with combined features of type 1 and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). PATIENTS AND
methodsWe report the clinical and biochemical characteristics of 7 children with HD and the course of their disease including the response to treatment. The data were compared to 59 children with a diagnosis of T2DM. Variables examined included age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), triglycerides (Tg), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and blood pressure. The Weiss criteria were used to diagnose metabolic syndrome (MetS). The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) was calculated from the standard lipid profile. Four autoantibodies against pancreatic β-cell were measured in all patients.
resultsSignificant clinical and biochemical differences were detected among children with HD versus T2DM. The mean BMI of children with T2DM was significantly higher than for the HD group. At presentation, the mean C peptide level was significantly lower in HD versus T2DM group and 28% presented with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The percentage of those with full criteria of MetS was significantly higher in T2DM versus HD group as well as the percentage of children with high atherogenic index. After a mean duration of 2.3 months from diagnosis, 4/7 of HD patients stopped insulin therapy and 3 patients had a marked reduction in the insulin requirement. During the follow-up (after 15 ±5 months), 5/7 HD patients required an increase in their insulin dose, one was controlled on a markedly low dose of basal insulin and the last patient did not require any insulin therapy for 40 months.
conclusionAppropriate assessment of HD is necessary for early and correct diagnosis. Increasing awareness of HD among the general population and primary care practitioners is necessary for successfully and properly treating this complex disease.
