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

objectiveThis study examined the association between diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at type 1 diabetes diagnosis and long-term glycemic outcomes, insulin requirements, BMI SD score (SDS), and diabetes technology uptake in youth. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsData were from nine countries (Austria, Czechia, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Slovenia, Switzerland, and U.S. [Colorado]), including youth (0.5-15.9 years) diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2019-2020 and followed for 2 years thereafter. Participants were divided into three groups: no DKA, nonsevere, and severe DKA at diagnosis. HbA1c, insulin requirements, BMI SDS, and use of technology, including automated insulin delivery (AID), were assessed.

resultsThe analysis included 9,269 individuals (54.8% males, mean age 9.0 years). DKA at diagnosis was observed in 34.2% of participants and severe DKA in 12.8%. After 1 year, adjusted mean HbA1c was higher in the severe DKA group (7.41%) compared with nonsevere DKA (7.23%, P = 0.001) and no DKA groups (7.14, P < 0.001), and this difference persisted after 2 years (7.58% vs. 7.38% [P < 0.001] and vs. 7.32% [P < 0.001]). Higher BMI SDS was observed in both DKA groups compared with no DKA. The use of AID was associated with lower HbA1c levels compared with other treatment modalities and moderated differences between DKA groups after 2 years of follow-up (P = 0.072).

conclusionsSevere and nonsevere DKA at type 1 diabetes diagnosis were both associated with persistently higher HbA1c and higher BMI SDS. AID use diminishes the association of DKA at diagnosis and higher HbA1c over time.
