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

objectiveHypoglycemia exposure lowers the glycemic threshold for symptom recognition, contributing to impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH). Interoceptive awareness, the ability to sense and interpret internal bodily sensations, is associated with a lower risk of IAH. We tested the hypothesis that interoceptive awareness moderates the association between hypoglycemia exposure and glycemic threshold for autonomic symptom recognition. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsAdults with type 1 diabetes completed validated surveys assessing interoceptive awareness (Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness, Version 2 [MAIA-2]) and the glycemic threshold for autonomic symptom recognition (Hypoglycemia Awareness Questionnaire Symptom Level subscale) and provided 30-day continuous glucose monitoring data. We used proportional odds logistic regression to examine whether the MAIA-2 Attention Regulation scale score (measuring the ability to sustain and control attention to bodily sensations) moderated the association between hypoglycemia exposure (percent time [%-time] <60 mg/dL) and symptom level, adjusting for covariates.

resultsAmong 717 participants (94% White, 52% female, mean [SD] age 44 [15] years; diabetes duration 25 [15] years; 17% with IAH), 30-day hypoglycemia exposure (%-time <60 mg/dL) was 0.8 (1.4%) (11.5 [20.2] min/day). Higher hypoglycemia exposure was associated with lower symptom levels (odds ratio [OR] 0.45; 95% CI 0.31, 0.66; P < 0.001). Interoceptive awareness alone was not associated with symptom level (OR 0.93; 95% CI 0.78, 1.12), but higher interoceptive awareness attenuated the association between hypoglycemia exposure and symptom level (OR 1.14; 95% CI 1.01, 1.27; P < 0.05).

conclusionsInteroceptive awareness moderated the association between hypoglycemia exposure and glycemic threshold for symptom recognition. Research is needed to examine whether interventions can improve interoceptive awareness and, thereby, restore awareness of hypoglycemia.
