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

Background: The HypoPAST (Hypoglycaemia Prevention, Awareness of Symptoms, and Treatment) randomised controlled trial aims to examine the effectiveness of an online psycho-educational intervention for reducing fear of hypoglycaemia among adults with type 1 diabetes. This statistical analysis plan provides the framework to assess the primary, secondary, and safety outcomes of the trial. The plan was written prior to database lock and in accordance with the SPIRIT guidelines. Methods: HypoPAST is a 24-week, two-arm, parallel-group, hybrid type 1 randomised controlled trial. The primary outcome is the difference in mean Hypoglycaemia Fear Survey II Worry subscale scores at 24 weeks between intervention and control arms. Secondary outcomes include between-arm differences in psychological, clinical and behavioural measures at mid- and end-trial. Primary and secondary outcomes will be analysed using mixed-effects models under the intention-to-treat principle. A sensitivity analysis will examine assumptions regarding missing data, and a per-protocol analysis will estimate the intervention effect among participants who engage with HypoPAST. Table shells for all prespecified analyses are provided to support transparent reporting. Conclusion: Consistent with best practice, all analyses described were prespecified prior to completion of trial data collection. The analysis methods were developed by statisticians, with input from trial investigators. This analysis plan provides a rigorous framework for the analysis of the HypoPAST trial data, ensuring the results will be robust and reproducible. Trial registration: The trial is registered on the Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry: ACTRN12623000894695 (August 21, 2023).
