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

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease and maintaining a tight glycemic control is essential to prevent both microvascular and macrovascular complications, as demonstrated in previous studies. It is essential to monitor the glucose levels in order to achieve the targets. The blood glucose monitoring can be done by different methods: glycated haemoglobin A1c, self-monitoring of blood glucose (before and after meals) with a glucometer and continuous glucose monitoring with a system that measures interstitial glucose concentrations. Even though glycated haemoglobin A1c is considered the "gold standard" of diabetes care, it does not provide complete information about the magnitude of the glycemic disequilibrium. Therefore the self-monitoring and continuous monitoring of blood glucose are considered an important adjunct for achieving and maintaining optimal glycemic control. The three methods of assessing glycemic control: HbA1c, SMBG and CGMS provide distinct but at the same time complementary information.
