Risk of adverse effects of intensified treatment in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus: A meta-analysis

Egger, M., Davey Smith, G., Stettler, C., Diem, P.·1997·Diabetic Medicine

Abstract

A 69-year-old man with recurrent hypoglycaemia had inappropriately elevated plasma insulin level during a symptomatic hypoglycaemia, but had a negative prolonged fast. Computerized tomography (CT) of the abdomen revealed a nodular lesion over the body of pancreas, whereas pancreatic arteriography failed to show tumour blush. Hence, arterial stimulation (with calcium) and venous sampling (ASVS) was performed and a brisk response of plasma insulin level was found when calcium was injected both into the splenic and the superior mesenteric arteries. Since no tumour was found during the operation, the patient received subtotal distal pancreatectomy. Pathological examination of the resected tissue disclosed a typical finding of nesidioblastosis. We suggest that selective intra-arterial calcium injection with hepatic venous sampling for insulin gradients is useful for the diagnosis of adult nesidioblastosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
