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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsWe investigate the impact of blood glucose on mortality and hospital length of stay (HLOS) among COVID-19 patients.

methodsRetrospective study of 456 patients with confirmed COVID-19 and glycemic dysregulation in the New York City area.

resultsWe found that impaired glucose adjusted for other organs systems involved (OR:1.87; 95% CI:1.36-2.57, p < 0.001), increased glucose nadir (OR:34.28; 95% CI:3.97-296.05, p < 0.01) and abnormal blood glucose levels at discharge (OR:5.07; 95% CI:2.31-11.14, p < 0.001) were each significantly associated with increased odds for mortality. New or higher from baseline insulin requirement during hospitalization (OR:0.34; 95% CI:0.15-0.78; p < 0.05) was significantly associated with decreased odds for mortality. Increased glucose peak (B = 0.001, SE=<0.001, p < 0.001), new or higher from baseline insulin requirement during hospitalization (B = 0.11, SE = 0.03, p < 0.001), and increased days to dysglycemia (B = 0.15, SE = 0.04, p < 0.001) were each significantly associated with increased HLOS. Increased glucose nadir (B = -0.67, SE = 0.07, p < 0.001), insulin intravenous drip (B = -0.10, SE = 0.05, p < 0.05), and increased proportion days endocrine system involved (B = -0.25, SE = 0.06, p < 0.001) were each significantly associated with decreased HLOS.

conclusionGlucose dysregulation adversely affects mortality and HLOS in COVID-19. These data can help clinicians to guide patient treatment and management in COVID-19 patients.
