A Mobile Computerized Decision Support System to Prevent Hypoglycemia in Hospitalized Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Trial report in Journal of diabetes science and technology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundDiabetes management requires complex and interdisciplinary cooperation of health care professionals (HCPs). To support this complex process, IT-support is recommended by clinical guidelines. The aim of this article is to report on results from a clinical feasibility study testing the prototype of a mobile, tablet-based client-server system for computerized decision and workflow support (GlucoTab®) and to discuss its impact on hypoglycemia prevention.
methodsThe system was tested in a monocentric, open, noncontrolled intervention study in 30 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The system supports HCPs in performing a basal-bolus insulin therapy. Diabetes therapy, adverse events, software errors and user feedback were documented. Safety, efficacy and user acceptance of the system were investigated.
resultsOnly 1.3% of blood glucose (BG) measurements were <70 mg/dl and only 2.6% were >300 mg/dl. The availability of the system (97.3%) and the rate of treatment activities documented with the system (>93.5%) were high. Only few suggestions from the system were overruled by the users (>95.7% adherence). Evaluation of the 3 anonymous questionnaires showed that confidence in the system increased over time. The majority of users believed that treatment errors could be prevented by using this system.
conclusionsData from our feasibility study show a significant reduction of hypoglycemia by implementing a computerized system for workflow and decision support for diabetes management, compared to a paper-based process. The system was well accepted by HCPs, which is shown in the user acceptance analysis and that users adhered to the insulin dose suggestions made by the system.
