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

contextMonogenic diabetes testing in children currently targets maturity onset diabetes in the young (MODY) or recognized genetic syndromes.

objectiveWe aim to determine whether genetic testing for monogenic diabetes should be performed for all children with diabetes and at least one non-autoimmune extra-pancreatic feature (syndromic diabetes).

methodsWe recruited 183 children with diabetes and at least one non-autoimmune extra-pancreatic feature (50% [n = 91] with self-reported consanguinity). We measured islet-autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes (T1D) genetic risk score (T1DGRS) and used targeted next-generation sequencing to analyze all known causes of monogenic diabetes.

resultsOf the children, 33% (61/183) had confirmed monogenic diabetes. Of these, 84% (51/61) had recessive etiologies with variants in WFS1 (46%), SLC19A2 (12%) and SLC29A3 (12%) being most common. Monogenic cases compared to non-monogenic had similar age of diagnosis (7.4 vs 6, P = .1) and body mass index z-score (-0.08 vs -0.41, P = .3) but had higher parental consanguinity (62% vs 19%, P = .01) and features in multiple organ systems (53% vs 28%, P = .01). Only 59% reported well-recognized features of their associated genetic syndrome. Children with low T1DGRS (<50th centile of T1D population) and negative/untested antibodies were more likely to have monogenic cause compared to positive antibodies or negative/untested antibodies and a high T1DGRS (≥ 50th centile) (48% vs 3% vs 7%, P < .0001).

conclusionChildren with diabetes and at least one non-autoimmune extra-pancreatic feature should be considered for monogenic diabetes testing. Measurement of islet-autoantibodies and T1DGRS help prioritize genetic testing.
