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

Highly specific immunoradiometric assays were used to measure plasma concentrations of insulin, proinsulin, and 32-33 split proinsulin in neonates (n = 16). Neonatal plasma insulin concentrations were high relative to blood glucose concentrations and compared with adult insulin-glucose relations. Concentrations of proinsulin and 32-33 split proinsulin together accounted for 34-70% of the total concentration of insulin and pro-peptides. This study confirms the need to use a specific assay and neonatal reference data in the diagnosis of neonatal hyperinsulinism, and shows that neonatal pancreatic beta cell function may differ from that of older subjects.
