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

AIMS/

introductionTo investigate the changes in the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and the relative status of the glycemic control related to the new glycemic targets recommended by the Japan Diabetes Society/Japan Geriatrics Society Joint Committee in 2016 in patients with diabetes mellitus visiting a memory clinic from 2012 to 2020. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 1,436 patients aged ≥65 years with diabetes. Patients were categorized into three categories as follows: category I, intact cognitive function and activities of daily living (ADL); category II, mild cognitive deficits or impaired instrumental ADL; and category III, moderate to severe cognitive impairment or impaired basic ADL. Trends in HbA1c levels, glycemic control status (optimally/poorly/excessively controlled) and proportion of individuals receiving drugs potentially associated with severe hypoglycemia among all patients and categories (I, II or III) from 2012 to 2020 were examined using linear, logistic and multinominal logistic regression models adjusted for confounding factors.

resultsBetween 2012 and 2020, the HbA1c levels, as well as the proportion of patients with poor glycemic control, increased, whereas the proportion of patients with excessive glycemic control and those receiving drugs potentially associated with severe hypoglycemia decreased.

conclusionsIncreased levels of HbA1c and decreased proportions of individuals under excessive glycemic control might reflect recent treatment strategies that avoid hypoglycemia in older patients. Given the adverse complications associated with hyperglycemia, more flexible and individualized glycemic targets based on comprehensive assessments, including vascular complications and comorbidities, might be necessary.
