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 and Objectives: Achieving optimal glycemic control in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) remains challenging despite the use of automated insulin delivery (AID) systems. This study evaluated glycemic outcomes and factors associated with poor control among T1DM patients using AID. Patients and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 23 patients with T1DM. Data included demographics, age at diagnosis, duration of AID use, hospitalization, and HbA1c levels. Glycemic control was classified as good (<7%) or poor (≥7%) according to ADA guidelines. Results: Participants were predominantly adults (82.6%), with a mean age of 23.9 ± 7.6 years, and mostly female (73.9%). The mean age at diagnosis was 10.3 ± 6.0 years. Poor glycemic control was observed in 78.3% of patients, with a mean HbA1c of 8.0 ± 1.7%. Better control was significantly associated with older age at diagnosis and AID use for 6-12 months (p < 0.05). HbA1c showed no significant correlations with age, age at diagnosis, or AID duration. Logistic regression identified younger age at diagnosis as the only independent predictor of poor glycemic control. Conclusion: Suboptimal glycemic control remains common among T1DM patients using AID systems. Early age at diagnosis is a key risk factor for poor outcomes.
