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

Graphical presentation of blood glucose monitoring systems' (BGMSs) accuracy typically includes difference plots (DPs). Recently, 3 new approaches were presented: radar plots (RPs), rectangle target plots (RTPs), and surveillance error grids (SEGs). BGMS data were modeled based on 3 scenarios that can be encountered in real life to highlight strengths and limitations of these approaches. Detailed assessment of BGMS data may be easier in plots with individual data points (DPs, RPs, SEGs), whereas RTPs may facilitate display of large amounts of data or comparison of BGMS. SEGs have the advantage of assessing clinical risk. The selection of a specific type depends mostly on the kind of information sought (eg, accuracy in specific concentration intervals, lot-to-lot variability, clinical risk) as there is no "absolute best" approach.
