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

Data mining is the process of selecting, exploring, and modeling large amounts of data to discover unknown patterns or relationships useful to the data analyst. This article describes applications of data mining for the analysis of blood glucose and diabetes mellitus data. The diabetes management context is particularly well suited to a data mining approach. The availability of electronic health records and monitoring facilities, including telemedicine programs, is leading to accumulating huge data sets that are accessible to physicians, practitioners, and health care decision makers. Moreover, because diabetes is a lifelong disease, even data available for an individual patient may be massive and difficult to interpret. Finally, the capability of interpreting blood glucose readings is important not only in diabetes monitoring but also when monitoring patients in intensive care units. This article describes and illustrates work that has been carried out in our institutions in two areas in which data mining has a significant potential utility to researchers and clinical practitioners: analysis of (i) blood glucose home monitoring data of diabetes mellitus patients and (ii) blood glucose monitoring data from hospitalized intensive care unit patients.
