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

backgroundContinuous glucose monitoring (CGM) patient systems have been shown to improve diabetes self-treatment when used consistently. The meaningful integration of this technology into everyday life, however, can vary greatly among CGM users and not all people with diabetes use CGM to its full potential. To address this issue, the study pursued 2 aims: first, to identify patient characteristics that underlie the acceptance of CGM in people with type 1 diabetes and, second, to examine the effects of different levels of experience with CGM use.

methodsGuided by a model based on the technology acceptance model (TAM), structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to model the patient characteristics as predictors of CGM acceptance. In all, 111 participants (60.4% female, mean = 37.6 years, SD = 11.2) participated in a web-based survey; 40 were current CGM users, 18 were former users and 53 had no experience with CGM systems.

resultsIn general, participants evaluated CGM positively; however, the feeling of information overload represented a major barrier to the sustained use of CGM, while perceptions of usefulness and ease of use constituted incentives for using this technology. Moreover, patients without CGM experience imagined more information overload than current users reported. Current users showed more intention to use CGM than former users.

conclusionThis study highlights the importance of CGM user experience for the effective use of this technology.
