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

The rising cost of insulin has created problems for physicians in the management of diabetes. The objective of our study was to determine the prevalence of cost-related insulin underuse in a primary care environment. We administered surveys to adult respondents diagnosed with diabetes who were prescribed insulin in the last 12 months. The primary outcome measured was the frequency of cost-related underuse of insulin within the last year. Ninety respondents completed the survey with results indicating 44% experienced cost-related suboptimal therapy. Prevalence of insulin underuse remains high in primary care and prescribers should regularly assess medication cost barriers with all patients.
