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.

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.

Abstract

introductionThe aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of 5 blood glucose monitoring systems (BGMSs; CONTOUR(®)PLUS [CP], Accu-Chek(®) Active [ACA], Accu-Chek(®) Performa [ACP], FreeStyle Freedom™ [FF], OneTouch(®) SelectSimple™ [OTSS]).

methodsStudy staff tested fingerstick samples from 106 subjects aged ≥18 years using the 5 BGMSs. Some samples were modified to achieve blood glucose concentrations throughout the measuring range. The primary endpoint was comparison of the mean absolute relative difference (MARD) from the reference value (Yellow Springs Instruments [YSI]) across the overall tested glucose range. Other endpoints were MARD in the low (≤80 mg/dL [≤4.4 mmol/L]), middle (81-180 mg/dL [4.5-10.0 mmol/L]), and high (>180 mg/dL [>10.0 mmol/L]) glucose ranges, and MARD for unmodified samples in the overall glucose range.

resultsCONTOUR(®)PLUS had a statistically significantly lower MARD than all BGMSs across the overall tested range (27-460 mg/dL [1.5-25.5 mmol/L]) and in the high glucose range. In the low glucose range, CP had a lower MARD than all BGMSs, which was statistically significant except for ACP. For unmodified samples across the overall tested range, CP had a lower MARD than all BGMSs and was statistically significantly lower except for ACA.

conclusionsCONTOUR(®)PLUS had the lowest mean difference from the reference values (by MARD) when compared with other BGMSs across multiple glucose ranges with modified and unmodified samples.
