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

objectiveWe characterized annual trends of severe hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic crises (diabetic ketoacidosis/hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state) in patients with diabetes and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsThis was a nationwide, retrospective study of adults (≥18 years old) with diabetes/ESKD, from the United States Renal Data System registry, between 2013 and 2017. Primary outcome was annual rates of emergency department visits or hospitalizations for hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic crises, reported as number of events/1,000 person-years. Event rates and risk factors were adjusted for patient age, sex, race/ethnicity, dialysis modality, comorbidities, treatment regimen, and U.S. region.

resultsAmong 521,789 adults with diabetes/ESKD (median age 65 years [interquartile range 57-73], 56.1% male, and 46% White), overall adjusted rates of hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic crises were 53.64 and 18.24 per 1,000 person-years, respectively. For both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia crises, respectively, the risks decreased with age and were lowest in older patients (≥75 vs. 18-44 years old: incidence rate ratio 0.35, 95% CI 0.33-0.37, and 0.03, 0.02-0.03), women (1.09, 1.06-1.12, and 1.44, 1.35-1.54), and those with smoking (1.36, 1.28-1.43, and 1.71, 1.53-1.91), substance abuse (1.27, 1.15-1.42, and 1.53, 1.23-1.9), retinopathy (1.10, 1.06-1.15, and 1.36, 1.26-1.47), and insulin therapy (vs. no therapy; 0.60, 0.59-0.63, and 0.44, 0.39-0.48). For hypoglycemia, specifically, additional risk was conferred by Black race (1.11, 1.08-1.15) and amputation history (1.20, 1.13-1.27).

conclusionsIn this nationwide study of patients with diabetes/ESKD, hypoglycemic crises were threefold more common than hyperglycemic crises, greatly exceeding national reports in nondialysis patients with chronic kidney disease. Young, Black, and female patients were disproportionately affected.
