Continuous glucose monitoring: a review for behavioral researchers.
Review in Psychosomatic medicine, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers.
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.
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
objectiveContinuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems collect and store glucose data in an ongoing fashion for several days at a time. The main advantage of CGM is that it can help identify fluctuations and trends that would otherwise go unnoticed with other glucose measures. Here, we provide a review of CGM for behavioral researchers.
methodsWe begin with a brief review of diabetes and glucose measurement and then describe what CGM is and reference the commercial CGM systems currently available. We discuss the challenges involved in using CGM in behavioral research. We then present a broad overview of CGM in behavioral research, including data from ours and others' research programs. Finally, we cover some practical issues to be considered when using CGM, suggest reporting guidelines for the behavioral researcher, and offer suggestions for future research.
resultsOnly a handful of behavioral researchers are using CGM, although its use is increasing. The main ways that CGM is being used in behavioral research is to investigate basic biobehavioral processes, to assess the effects of behavioral interventions on diabetes control, and to use CGM itself as a behavior modification and teaching tool in diabetes self-management interventions.
conclusionsContinuous glucose monitoring holds promise to help behavioral researchers unravel the complex relationships among glucose and intrapersonal, interpersonal, and contextual factors. However, the uptake of CGM for this purpose is limited, and the possibilities for its use are largely unmet. We encourage behavioral researchers to implement CGM in their protocols and to do so in a way that maximizes its explanatory power.
