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

This study investigated the prevalence of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) in the Croatian cystic fibrosis (CF) population, the age at diagnosis, insulin requirements, and the relationship between age at diagnosis and other clinical parameters. Medical records from 152 patients with genetically and laboratory-confirmed CF were reviewed through to 2025. The American Diabetes Association criteria were used to diagnose CFRD. Anthropometric and clinical data were collected from the latest medical records. A total of 17 out of 152 patients had CFRD, with a prevalence of 4.8% in the paediatric population (4/84) and 19.1% in adults (13/68). The median age of CFRD diagnosis was 14 years (range 9-22 years, SD = 3.95). Thirteen patients used insulin: one used bolus only, seven used basal-bolus multiple daily injections, and five used insulin pumps. The average total daily insulin (TDI) per kilogram (kg) body weight was 0.447 U/kg (SD = 0.429). The age at CFRD diagnosis was positively correlated with the body mass index (BMI) (
