Snap diagnosis of fulminant type 1 diabetes by the normalized glucose/HbA1c ratio.
Article in Endocrine journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Elevated Fulminant Index (FI), [plasma glucose (PG)/glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)], was reportedly a sensitive index to differentiate fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1D) from non-fulminant T1D (nFT1D). Aim of this study was to describe a better, but simpler index of FT1D. 49 and 52 patients with FT1D and nFT1D, respectively, were registered, and the discriminating ability of the rounded, normalized ratio, [PG (mmol/L) - 5.0]/[HbA1c (%) - 5.0], and the original ratio, [PG (mmol/L)]/[HbA1c (%)], was compared. Normalizing the ratio significantly raised its accuracy: area under the curve for receiver operating curve, AUROC (95%CI), 0.927 (0.858-0.964) and 0.851 (0.763-0.910), respectively, with and without the normalization (p < 0.01). Rounding of the figure into [PG (mmol/L) - 5.0]/[HbA1c (%) - 5.0] did not significantly sacrifice the discriminating ability of the index. Namely, the optimal cut point of rounded and normalized GAR, 10.0, showed 89.8% sensitivity. In conclusion, rounded, normalized (rn) GAR ≥10 (the rounded optimal cut-off) could be used for the snap diagnosis of FT1D.
