The impact of COVID-19 lockdown on glycaemic control in young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundIn December 2019, a novel coronavirus strain, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. The first case was reported in the Republic of Ireland that month. Since then, along with many other countries worldwide, Ireland has imposed intermittent strict lockdowns to mitigate the spread of the virus.
aimsTo investigate the impact of lockdown on glycaemic control in young adult patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
methodsPre- and post-lockdown HbA1c levels were recorded for 118 patients attending the Young Adult Diabetes clinic in Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, and the results were compared. Changes in weight, insulin requirements and incidence of DKA/severe hypoglycaemia were also assessed.
resultsHbA1c results were 3.81 mmol/mol lower post-lockdown. Weight increased by 1.8 kg. Both of these results were statistically significant.
conclusionsLockdown was associated with improved glycaemic control in young adult diabetic patients, and also with an increase in body weight. Changes in lifestyle factors associated with lockdown may explain this finding.
