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

aimsUltra-rapid insulin lispro (URIL) is associated with faster insulin absorption and earlier offset than standard insulin lispro (IL). This study evaluated whether URIL improves glucose control in a fully closed-loop setting over an 8-h period compared to IL under conditions simulating a missed meal bolus.

methodsIn this open-label, randomised crossover trial, 18 adults with type 1 diabetes using insulin pump therapy [12 females, age 39.1 (14.2) yrs., HbA1c 57.9 (8.7) mmol/mol] completed two 8-h inpatient sessions (09:00 to 17:00 h). Glucose levels were managed using the CamAPS FX closed-loop system with either URIL or IL, in random order. Participants received a standardised meal at 11:00 h without a meal bolus. The primary endpoint was the percentage of time in range (TIR; 3.9-10 mmol/L) based on sensor glucose.

resultsData related to the 8-h study period from 17 participants were analysed. TIR was numerically higher but not statistically significant with URIL than IL [49.3 (15.6) vs. 39.9 (18.9)%; p = 0.072], with lower time spent in Level 1 (>10 mM) [50.7 (15.6) vs. 59.5 (19.1)%; p = 0.098] and Level 2 hyperglycaemia (>13.9) [18.7 (17.1) vs. 27.9 (19.8)%; p = 0.136]. Similar trends were observed in the 4-h post-meal period. Time in hypoglycaemia was low and comparable between both periods (p > 0.05).

conclusionURIL in a fully closed-loop setting showed a clinically meaningful trend towards improved TIR and reduced hyperglycaemia compared to IL. Further advancements in faster-acting insulins are needed to alleviate the burden of pre-meal bolusing and enhance fully closed-loop performance in the future.
