Impact of a reduced error range of SMBG in insulin-treated patients in Germany.
Article in Journal of diabetes science and technology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Modeling approaches demonstrate that improvement in the accuracy of blood glucose (BG) meters may lead to cost savings. An improvement of accuracy of BG meters on the basis of a reduction in error range from 20% to 5% has been reported to be associated with substantial cost savings in Germany. The aim of this study is to analyze potential cost savings related to a reduction in error range from 20% to 15% and 10% of glucose meters in Germany. The health economic analysis included the number of type 1 diabetic and the number of insulin-treated patients in Germany, the costs for glucose monitoring, a model on the effects of the improvement of accuracy on the impact of severe hypoglycemic episodes, HbA1c, and subsequently myocardial infarctions and the costs of diabetes-related complications in Germany. In the model, a reduction of 1% and 3.5% reduction in severe hypoglycemic episodes, and a 0.14% and 0.28% reduction in HbA1c was included. In type 1 diabetes the savings could be equal to a reduction in health care expenditures of more than €1.0 million (20% vs 15% error range) and €3.4 million (20% vs 10% error range). Respectively, potential savings of more than €6.0 million and €20.1 million were calculated for the group of insulin-treated patients. The model demonstrates that a reduction of error range of BG meters from 20% to 15% and 10% may translate into substantial savings for the German health care system.
