Early weight gain after diagnosis may have an impact on remission status in children with new-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Article in Journal of diabetes, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundResidual beta-cell function and improvement in insulin sensitivity by reversal of glucose toxicity are two phenomena thought to be related to partial remission (PR). Body fat mass is the major determinant of insulin sensitivity. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the rate of body weight gain after diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and other clinical factors for the development and duration of PR.
methodsChildren (2-16 years) with new-onset T1DM (n = 99) were grouped into remitters and non-remitters by using insulin dose-adjusted glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values. Laboratory and clinical data as well as daily insulin requirement per kilogram of body weight at diagnosis and each visit were recorded, and the duration of PR was determined. Changes in body mass index standard deviation score (BMI-SDS) were calculated by the auxological data collected every 6 months.
resultsThere were 47 remitters (47.5%) and 52 (52.5%) non-remitters. The mean increase in BMI-SDS at the first 6 months of diagnosis was higher in the non-remitters than in the remitters (p = 0.04). Duration of PR was negatively correlated with the change in BMI-SDS between 6 and 12 months after diagnosis. Male sex, younger age, prepubertal status, and lower HbA1c were predictors of remission, among which male sex had the highest chance by multivariate regression.
conclusionsEarly rapid weight gain after diagnosis of T1DM may play a role in the lack of remission and shorter duration of PR. Interventions to prevent early rapid weight gain can maintain the development and prolongation of remission.
