Effect of hypoglycemia on baroreflex sensitivity in individuals with type 2 diabetes: implications for autonomic control of cardiovascular function in diabetes.

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
purposeHypoglycemia is associated with increased mortality, though the mechanisms underlying this association are not established. Hypoglycemia impairs the counterregulatory hormonal and autonomic responses to subsequent hypoglycemia. It is unknown whether hypoglycemia elicits a generalized impairment in autonomic control of cardiovascular function in individuals with type 2 diabetes. We tested the hypothesis that in individuals with type 2 diabetes, hypoglycemia impairs a key measure of cardiovascular autonomic homeostasis, baroreflex sensitivity.
methodsSixteen individuals with well-controlled type 2 diabetes and without known cardiovascular disease were exposed to two 90-min episodes of experimental hypoglycemia (2.8 mmol/L, 50 mg/dL) on the same day. All individuals experienced a hypoglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp in the morning (AM clamp) and again in the afternoon (PM clamp). Baroreflex sensitivity was assessed using the modified Oxford method before the initiation of each hypoglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp, during the last 30 min of hypoglycemia, and the following morning. A mixed effects model adjusting for sex, age, BMI, and insulin level, demonstrated a significant effect of hypoglycemia on baroreflex sensitivity. The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03422471).
resultsBaroreflex sensitivity during PM hypoglycemia was reduced compared to baseline, during AM hypoglycemia, and the next day. Insulin levels positively correlated with baroreflex sensitivity at baseline and during AM hypoglycemia.
conclusionExposure to hypoglycemia impairs a key measure of autonomic control of cardiovascular function and, thus, may increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmias and blood pressure lability in individuals with type 2 diabetes. This effect is attenuated in part by increased insulin levels.
