Article in Journal of diabetes science and technology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

The development of cost-effective, simple, and reproducible tests for diabetes screening represents a priority of modern medicine in light of the increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus. Besides fasting plasma glucose, the oral glucose tolerance test, and glycated hemoglobin A1c, several tests have been proposed, among them the assessment of skin fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS). This article comments on the article by Olson and coauthors published in this issue of Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology and comprehensively reviews related available information. Overall, SFS seems to represent an easy-to-use, noninvasive tool that adds value to existing tests for diabetes screening.
