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

aimsIn Japan, type 1 diabetes (T1D) is classified into three subtypes based on its onset patterns; however, the proportion of each subtype remains unexplored. To elucidate the heterogeneity in adult-onset type 1 diabetes, we compared the frequencies of subtypes and clinical features by age at onset. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis cross-sectional, observational, single-institution study included 482 individuals (161 male) with T1D. The clinical and laboratory data, including glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibodies, were extracted from the medical records.

resultsThe number of adults who developed T1D decreased with age. Among all patients, 62% (n = 299) had acute-onset T1D, 27% (n = 131) had slowly progressive T1D (SPIDDM), and 11% (n = 52) had fulminant T1D. The proportion of patients with fulminant T1D was approximately equivalent in all age groups; however, the percentage of patients with acute-onset T1D decreased from 78% in the 20-29 age group to 27% in the 70-79 age group. The proportion of patients with SPIDDM significantly increased with age, ranging from 16% in the 20-29 age group to 60% in the 70-79 age group. Among patients with SPIDDM, the prevalence of definite SPIDDM was 89%, and this prevalence did not differ based on the age at onset. Body mass index and C-peptide levels among patients with probable SPIDDM were significantly higher than those among patients with definite SPIDDM.

conclusionsThe proportion of adult-onset T1D subtypes differed according to the age at onset. In adult-onset T1D, some etiological differences may be based on age at onset.
