The Cost of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Versus Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose in Type 1 Diabetes Pregnancies in the United States: A Cost-Consequences Analysis Using Real-World Evidence.
Article in Diabetes technology & therapeutics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Data on the cost implications of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use in type 1 diabetes (T1D) pregnancies in the United States are sparse. Drawing on associations identified in real-world evidence from a retrospective chart review at the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes, we conducted a cost-consequences analysis of CGM use versus self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), inclusive of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) spending. In the base-case analysis assuming per-label CGM use and per-guideline finger-stick frequency, the per-person cost was $16,254 for CGM versus $15,182 for SMBG. In a real-world scenario analysis, the per-person cost was $13,708 for CGM versus $14,524 for SMBG. In both analyses, there was a cost savings for NICU admissions of $2,903 with CGM use. In the probabilistic sensitivity analysis, CGM was cost saving in 25% of base-case model iterations and 46% of real-world model iterations. This study adds to the growing evidence base that the increased costs of CGM use versus SMBG to manage T1D pregnancies are likely offset by better neonatal health outcomes.
