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

objectiveMaturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a rare monogenic form of diabetes. In 2009, >80% of U.K. cases were estimated to be misdiagnosed. Since then, there have been a number of initiatives to improve the awareness and detection of MODY, including education initiatives (Genetic Diabetes Nurse [GDN] project), the MODY probability calculator, and targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS). We examined how the estimated prevalence of MODY and other forms of monogenic diabetes diagnosed outside the neonatal period has changed over time and how the initiatives have impacted case finding. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsU.K. referrals for genetic testing for monogenic diabetes diagnosed >1 year of age from 1 January 1996 to 31 December 2019 were examined. Positive test rates were compared for referrals reporting GDN involvement/MODY calculator use with those that did not.

resultsA diagnosis of monogenic diabetes was confirmed in 3,860 individuals, more than threefold higher than 2009 (1 January 1996 to 28 February 2009, n = 1,177). Median age at diagnosis in probands was 21 years. GDN involvement was reported in 21% of referrals; these referrals had a higher positive test rate than those without GDN involvement (32% vs. 23%, P < 0.001). MODY calculator usage was indicated in 74% of eligible referrals since 2014; these referrals had a higher positive test rate than those not using the calculator (33% vs. 25%, P = 0.001). Four hundred ten (10.6%) cases were identified through tNGS. Monogenic diabetes prevalence was estimated to be 248 cases/million (double that estimated in 2009 because of increased case finding).

conclusionsSince 2009, referral rates and case diagnosis have increased threefold. This is likely to be the consequence of tNGS, GDN education, and use of the MODY calculator.
