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

Insulin pumps are used by many patients with diabetes to manage their diabetes therapy. Adequate handling of the systems is important to avoid errors. In this study, one aspect of device handling-the number of steps required to operate the system-was evaluated for different insulin pump systems. Specific tasks that are usually performed by insulin pump users were simulated and all necessary actions were documented. Differences between the required numbers of steps strongly depended on the specific task. So did the level of guidance for these tasks provided by the systems. Results of this study provide an overview of this particular aspect of insulin pump handling rather than a general advice.
