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

backgroundStandard management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) relies on blood glucose monitoring based on a range of technologies from self-monitoring of blood glucose (BGM) to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Even as CGM technology matures, patients utilize BGM for calibration and dosing. The question of how the accuracy of both technologies interact is still not well understood.

methodsWe use a recently developed data-driven simulation approach to characterize the relationship between CGM and BGM accuracy especially how BGM accuracy impacts CGM performance in four different use cases with increasing levels of reliance on twice daily calibrated CGM. Simulations are used to estimate clinical outcomes and isolate CGM and BGM accuracy characteristics that drive performance.

resultsOur results indicate that meter (BGM) accuracy, and more specifically systematic positive or negative bias, has a significant effect on clinical performance (HbA1c and severe hypoglycemia events) in all use-cases generated for twice daily calibrated CGMs. Moreover, CGM sensor accuracy can amplify or mitigate, but not eliminate these effects.

conclusionAs a system, BGM and CGM and their mode of use (use-case) interact to determine clinical outcomes. Clinical outcomes (eg, HbA1c, severe hypoglycemia, time in range) can be closely approximated by linear relationships with two BGM accuracy characteristics, namely error and bias. In turn, the coefficients of this linear relationship are determined by the use-case and by CGM accuracy (MARD).
