Empowering Hospitalized Patients With Diabetes: Implementation of a Hospital-wide CGM Policy With EHR-Integrated Validation for Dosing Insulin.
Article in Diabetes care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
objectiveWe aimed to assess the feasibility, clinical accuracy, and acceptance of a hospital-wide continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) policy with electronic health record (EHR)-integrated validation for insulin dosing. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsA hospital policy was developed and implemented at Stanford Health Care for using personal CGMs in lieu of fingerstick blood glucose (FSBG) monitoring. It included requirements specific to each CGM, accuracy monitoring protocols, and EHR integration. User experience surveys were conducted among a subset of patients and nurses.
resultsFrom November 2022 to August 2023, 135 patients used the CGM protocol in 185 inpatient encounters. This group included 27% with type 1 diabetes and 24% with automated insulin delivery systems. The most-used CGMs were Dexcom G6 (44%) and FreeStyle Libre 2 (43%). Of 1,506 CGM validation attempts, 87.8% met the 20% or 20 mg/dL (%20/20) criterion for CGM-based insulin dosing and 99.3% fell within Clarke zones A or B. User experience surveys were completed by 27 nurses and 46 patients. Most nurses found glucose management under the protocol effective (74%), easy to use (67%), and efficient (63%); 80% of nurses preferred inpatient CGM to FSBG. Most patients liked the CGM protocol (63%), reported positive CGM interactions with nursing staff (63%), and felt no significant interruptions to their diabetes management (63%).
conclusionsImplementation of a hospital-wide inpatient CGM policy supporting multiple CGM types with real-time accuracy monitoring and integration into the EHR is feasible. Initial feedback from nurses and patients was favorable, and further investigation toward broader use and sustainability is needed.
