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

backgroundImpaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH) is related to a three- to sixfold increase in the risk of severe hypoglycemia in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). This study aimed to assess the prevalence of IAH and its risk factors and determine the frequency of hypoglycemic symptoms.

objectiveThis study aimed to assess the prevalence of IAH and its risk factors and determine the frequency of hypoglycemic symptoms. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study was conducted among T1D patients attending Jazan Endocrine and Diabetes Center in Jazan province, Saudi Arabia. A total of 151 patients participated, using the interview-based Clarke questionnaire, a validated eight-item questionnaire to evaluate IAH. Scoring four or more answers as reduced awareness categorizes the participant as having IAH.

resultsThe prevalence of IAH was 25.2% among the T1D patients. IAH was significantly associated with body mass index (BMI; p = 0.034), occupation (p = 0.014), and blood glucose monitoring methods (p = 0.027). Shaking and sweating were the most commonly reported symptoms of hypoglycemia. A BMI of <25 kg/m

conclusionIAH was prevalent among T1D patients attending Jazan Endocrine and Diabetes Center. The main associated factors included BMI, blood glucose monitoring method, and occupation. Future research should investigate the underlying causes of the observed associations and explore strategies to enhance the awareness of hypoglycemia.
