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

backgroundArtificial intelligence is emerging in healthcare systems. In type 1 diabetes, AI-enabled tools are increasingly used to support nutrition assessment and insulin decision-making, yet their clinical utility and safety remain unclear.

methodsThe study aims to identify and map the evidence on the clinical utility of AI-based diabetes management tools in people with type 1 diabetes. We conducted a scoping review following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, searching PubMed, CINAHL and Web of Science up to January 2026 for eligible randomised controlled trials.

resultsOur findings indicate that the evidence base is small and concentrated in high-income settings, with most trials assessing clinical utility using CGM outcomes and showing mixed improvements across interventions. No serious safety events were reported, but small sample sizes, short follow-up and inconsistent safety reporting limit confidence.

conclusionsFuture research should prioritise larger, longer-term real-world evaluations that use standardised safety endpoints and patient-centred outcomes, including in low- and middle-income countries to support equitable implementation.
