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

backgroundDespite a marked increase in polypharmacy in patients with diabetes there have been no thorough evaluations of the impact of polypharmacy on the accuracy of any current blood glucose monitoring (BGM) system. This study evaluated the accuracy of a BGM test-strip with respect to polypharmacy using a large clinical registry dataset.

methodsMedication profiles were analyzed for 830 subjects (334 with type 1 [T1D] and 496 with type 2 diabetes [T2D]) attending three hospitals. Blood samples were analyzed to determine clinical accuracy of the BGM test-strip compared to a laboratory comparator.

resultsAcross the 830 subjects, 473 different medications (41 diabetes and 432 nondiabetes) were recorded. Patients took on average 6.5 (

conclusionsThis comprehensive analysis for this specific test-strip platform demonstrated no evidence of interference and robust clinical accuracy of this test strip, irrespective of the prescription medication status of patients with diabetes.
