Continuous glucose monitoring in preterm infants: evaluation by a modified Clarke error grid.
Article in Italian journal of pediatrics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundContinuous glucose monitoring using subcutaneous sensors has been validated in adults and children with diabetes, and was found to be useful in the management of glucose control. We aimed to assess feasibility and reliability of a new continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) in a population of preterm neonates using a Clarke error grid (CEG) specifically modified for preterm infants.
methodsPreterm infants were recruited within 24 h from delivery. A subcutaneous sensor connected to a CGMS was inserted and maintained for 6 days. Data collected from CGMS were compared with data obtained using a glucometer. Management of the infants followed standard protocols and was not influenced by CGMS readings.
resultsTwenty patients (9 males) were included. Median (range) gestational age was 32 weeks (27-36) and median (range) birth weight was 1350 g (860-3360). Average CGMS recording time was 137 h, for a total of 449 paired glucose levels. CEG and modified CEG criteria for clinical significance were met.
conclusionCGMS is a safe and clinically adequate method to estimate glucose levels in preterm infants. As the glucose level can be evaluated in real time, this CGMS could be useful to reduce the number of heel sticks, to observe glycaemic trends and to promptly detect episodes of both hypo- and hyper-glycaemia.
