Real-world use of non-pregnancy-specific automated insulin delivery systems during gestation and delivery: a case series.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundMaintaining optimal glycemic control in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) remains a clinical challenge despite advancements in technology. Although not all automated insulin delivery (AID) systems are approved for gestational use, their use has increased in clinical practice. Limited real-world data exists on their effectiveness and safety throughout pregnancy as well as delivery.
methodsRetrospective case series including ten women with T1D who used AID systems (MiniMed 780G or Control-IQ) from preconception or early pregnancy through delivery at a single Italian Diabetes and Pregnancy Clinic between January 2020 and March 2025. Glucose metrics were analyzed from data-sharing portals across five time points (preconception, each trimester and delivery). Anthropometric data, safety and pregnancy outcomes were also evaluated.
resultsMean preconception HbA1c was 7.2 ± 1.0% and improved to 6.2 ± 0.3% by the third trimester. Time in range rose progressively, averaging 70.7 ± 11.2% in late pregnancy, with 5/10 individuals achieving the > 70% target. Coefficient of variation and time above range decreased with no severe hypoglycemia. Most women maintained AID mode during labor; mean TIRp at delivery was 70.1 ± 14.6%. Neonatal outcomes were generally favorable, with no stillbirths or neonatal deaths.
conclusionsAID systems can efficiently and safely support glycemic control during pregnancy and delivery in women with T1D when guided by expert teams and specific protocols. Although not currently approved for use during pregnancy, these systems may represent a viable alternative to pregnancy-specific algorithms.
