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

Introduction: Blood glucose levels may be influenced by hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT). Patients with diabetes mellitus commonly receive HBOT but there is a lack of standardised blood glucose management guidelines. We documented relevant contemporary practices applied for patients with diabetes treated in hyperbaric medicine units. Methods: A survey was administered in 2022 to the directors of all 13 accredited hyperbaric units in Australia and New Zealand to identify policies and practices related to management of patients with diabetes receiving HBOT. Results: Twelve of the 13 units routinely managed patients with diabetes. Three-quarters (9/12) used < 4 mmol·l Conclusions: This survey highlights the burden of diabetes on patients treated with HBOT and identifies considerable variability in practices which may benefit from further study to optimise management of these patients.
