Pen-administered low-dose dasiglucagon vs usual care for prevention and treatment of non-severe hypoglycaemia in people with type 1 diabetes during free-living conditions: a Phase II, randomised, open-label, two-period crossover trial.
Trial report in Diabetologia, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04764968 (Pen-Administered Low-Dose Dasiglucagon for Prevention and Treatment of Hypoglycemia in People With Type 1 Diabetes), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
aims/hypothesisConsumption of excess carbohydrates to manage hypoglycaemia can lead to rebound hyperglycaemia and promote weight gain. The objective of this trial was to evaluate the efficacy, safety and feasibility of pen-administered low-dose dasiglucagon for prevention and treatment of non-severe hypoglycaemia in people with type 1 diabetes during free-living conditions.
methodsTwenty-four adults with insulin pump-treated type 1 diabetes (HbA
resultsCompared with usual care, the mean difference (95% CI) in the DASI period for time in (3.9-10.0 mmol/l) and below (<3.9 mmol/l) range was 2.4 %-points (-0.7, 5.5) and -0.5 %-points (-1.2, 0.2), respectively. In the DASI period, recovery rate (time from hypoglycaemia treatment to euglycaemia) was 44% (11, 87) faster while total daily carbohydrate intake was reduced by 11% (-18, -3). Dasiglucagon use was safe and well tolerated with mild nausea being the most frequent adverse effect. Among the participants, 96% (p<0.0001) were likely to include dasiglucagon in their future routine management of hypoglycaemia. CONCLUSIONS/
interpretationUse of low-dose dasiglucagon to prevent and treat non-severe hypoglycaemia during free-living conditions was safe, fast and efficacious while significantly reducing the total daily carbohydrate intake and yielding high treatment satisfaction.
