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

Insulin autoimmune syndrome or Hirata's disease is a rare condition characterized by hypoglycemia associated with endogenous autoimmune hyperinsulinism. This report concerns the case of a 28-year-old Latin American woman with Graves' disease who developed insulin autoimmune syndrome and then subsequently became pregnant. She displayed symptoms related to severe hypoglycemia due to hyperinsulinemia, elevated C-peptide, and anti-insulin antibodies. Prior to pregnancy she was treated with corticosteroids and had ablative treatment with iodine-131. During follow-up of both conditions, the patient became pregnant, and clinically and biochemically hyperthyroid, for which total thyroidectomy was performed during the second trimester of pregnancy. Anti-insulin antibodies, blood glucose, and C-peptide remained normal throughout pregnancy. At 40 weeks of gestation she gave birth to a healthy female newborn with normal blood glucose values. Molecular genetic analysis determined the following genotypes: HLA-DRB1*
