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: Chronic diseases such as type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) may alter linear growth; however, reports regarding growth in children with T1DM have been inconsistent. This study aimed to investigate the height and growth velocity of patients with T1DM, and whether they were affected by various factors 5 years after the diagnosis. Methods: This retrospective study included patients with T1DM between October 2005 and May 2022, with a follow-up period of at least 1 year. Patients with diabetes, thyroid disease, celiac disease, or any other chronic disease were excluded. We compared the mean height standard deviation score (H-SDS) and growth velocity between groups divided based on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems. Results: Among the 150 patients, 45.3% were male, with a mean age at diagnosis of 7.8 ± 3.6 years. At diagnosis, the mean H-SDS was 0.38 ± 1.11. In males, H-SDS significantly decreased overtime, with an estimated slope ( Conclusion: Glycemic control and CGM use positively affected linear growth in children with T1DM, especially in males. CGM use was associated with improved growth outcomes, which suggests that glucose monitoring may help mitigate the adverse effects of poor glycemic control on growth.
