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

backgroundThe objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of dysglycemia on perioperative outcomes, in patients with and without diabetes, and how prior glycemic control modifies these relationships.

methodsConsecutive surgical patients admitted to six South Australian tertiary hospitals between 2017 and 2023 were included. Blood glucose levels within 48 h pre- and post-operatively were assessed in an adjusted analyses against a priori selected covariates. Dysglycemia metrics were hyperglycemia (>10.0 mmol/L), hypoglycemia (<4.0 mmol/L), glycemic variability (standard deviation of mean blood glucose >1.7 mmol/L), and stress hyperglycemic ratio (SHR). The primary outcome was hospital mortality.

resultsOf 52 145 patients, 7490 (14.4%) had recognized diabetes. Inpatient mortality was observed in 787 patients (1.5%), of which 150 (19.1%) had diabetes mellitus. Hyperglycemia was associated with increased mortality in patients with diabetes (odds ratio [OR] = 2.99, 95% CI: 1.63-5.67, p = 0.004) but not in non-diabetics, who instead had an increased odds of intensive care unit (ICU) admission if hyperglycemic (OR = 1.95, 95% CI: 1.40-2.72, p < 0.0001). Glycemic variability was associated with increased mortality in patients with diabetes (OR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.05-2.01, p < 0.05) but not in non-diabetics. Preoperative glycemic control (HbA1c) attenuated both of these associations in a dose-dependent fashion. Hypoglycemia was associated with increased mortality in non-diabetics (OR = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.92-2.37, p < 0.001) but not in patients with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS,: In surgical patients with diabetes, prior exposure to hyperglycemia attenuates the impact of perioperative hyperglycemia and glycemic variability on inpatient mortality and ICU admission. In patients without diabetes mellitus, all absolute thresholds of dysglycemia are associated with ICU admission, unlike those with diabetes, suggesting the need to use more relative measures such as the SHR.
