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

backgroundContinuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices measure interstitial glucose concentrations (normally every 5 minutes), allowing observation of glucose variability (GV) patterns during the whole day. This information could be used to improve prescription of treatments and of insulin dosages for people suffering diabetes. Previous efforts have been focused on proposing indices of GV either in time or glucose domains, while the frequency domain has been explored only partially. The aim of this work is to explore the CGM signal in the frequency domain to understand if new indexes or features could be identified and contribute to a better characterization of glucose variability.

methodsThe direct fast Fourier transform (FFT) and the Welch method were used to analyze CGM signals from three different profiles: people at risk of developing type 2 diabetes (P@R), T2D patients, and type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients.

resultsThe results suggests that features extracted from the FFT (ie, the localization and power of the maximum peak of the power spectrum and the bandwidth at 3 dB) are able to provide a characterization for all the three populations under study compared with the Welch approach.

conclusionsSuch preliminary results can represent a good insight for futures investigations with the possibility of building and using new indexes of glucose variability based on the frequency features.
