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

Conventional diabetes management requires frequent invasive procedures such as finger-prick blood sampling and subcutaneous injections to coordinate glucose monitoring and medication. Here, we propose a novel, flexible, wearable, battery-free skin patch that synchronizes painless glucose monitoring and regulation capabilities with smartphone-mediated wireless control. This patch integrates bendable fluorescent hydrogel microneedles for minimally invasive glucose monitoring (50 to 450 mg/dL range) and thermoresponsive microneedles for metformin delivery. In diabetic mouse models, it accurately tracked interstitial glucose levels and, upon hyperglycemia detection, reduced blood glucose within 1 h (effects lasting 5-6 h). This system provides glucose monitoring with wireless data transmission and precise drug administration while eliminating pain, infection risk, and high costs. Its lightweight, disposable design offers a practical solution for improved diabetes care.
