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

Estimation of glycemic variability requires frequent measures of glucose and is greatly aided by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM); however, under real-world conditions, missing data or "gaps" of ≥ 10 minutes can occur in CGM data, affecting the reliability of certain estimates. Thus, we determined the magnitude of the gap problem as observed in a cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes and demonstrated an approach to fill the gaps. The approach takes the difference between readings before and after a gap and distributes the difference equally across the number of missing readings, as determined by the sensor's setting for reading frequency. The approach is easy to implement, conservative, and improves estimation of variability measures that reference time, namely, mean of daily differences and continuous overlapping net glycemic action.
