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

purposeGlycemic control is traditionally evaluated by monitoring of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). This study aims to explore factors related to glycemic control among pediatrics with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted among 454 students aged 6-18 years with T1DM in 2018. Demographic and disease related information were collected by a validated questionnaire. Generalized Linear Models (GLM) were used to investigate the association of explanatory variables with HbA1c concentration.

resultsThe mean (SD) age of the participants was 11.7(± 3.3) years. The overall prevalence of suboptimal glycemic control was 85.5% (HbA1c ≥ 7%). Results showed that post pubertal children experienced a significant decrease in HbA1c levels compared to prepubertal children (β =-0.83,

conclusionsThe results indicated that age, BMI and passive smoking and were significantly associated with HbA1c levels. It is suggested that glycemic control is related to multiple factors and the interaction of these factors with each other may have positive or negative effects on it which should be investigated in future studies. Improved understanding in this area could lead to prevention of deterioration in glycemic control.
