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

contextGlucose tolerance during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is affected by variations in glucose effectiveness (GE) and glucose absorption and thus affects minimal model calculations of insulin sensitivity (SI). The widely used OGTT SI by Dalla Man et al does not account for variances in GE and glucose absorption.

objectiveTo develop a novel model that concurrently assesses SI, GE, and glucose absorption.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study conducted at an academic medical center, 17 subjects without abnormalities on OGTT (controls) and 88 subjects with diabetes underwent a 75-gram 120-minute 6-timepoint OGTT. The SI from the Dalla Man model was validated with the novel model SI using Bland-Altman limits of agreement methodology. Comparisons of SI, GE, and gastrointestinal glucose half-life (GIGt1/2), a surrogate measure for glucose absorption, were made between subjects with diabetes and controls.

resultsIn controls and diabetes, the novel model SI was higher than the current OGTT model. The SI from both controls (ƿ=0.90, P < .001) and diabetes (ƿ=0.77, P < .001) has high agreement between models. GE was higher in diabetes (median: 0.021 1/min, interquartile range [IQR]: 0.020-0.022) compared to controls (median: 0.016 1/min, IQR: 0.015-0.017), P = .02. GIGt1/2 was shorter in diabetes (median: 48.404 min, IQR: 54.424-39.426) than in controls (median: 55.086 min, IQR: 61.368-48.502) without statistical difference.

conclusionOur novel model SI has a good correlation with SI from the widely used Dalla Man's model while concurrently calculating GE and GIGt1/2. Thus, besides estimating SI, our novel model can quantify differences in insulin-independent glucose disposal mechanisms important for diabetes pathophysiology.
