Analysis of "Dose Accuracy, Injection Force, and Usability Assessment of a New Half-Unit, Prefilled Insulin Pen".
Article in Journal of diabetes science and technology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Half-unit insulin pens (HUPs) offer finer gradation of insulin dosing than their integer-unit counterparts, tackling the inaccuracies of dose rounding that make it difficult for insulin-sensitive populations to achieve tight glycemic control. This article analyzes the first prefilled HUP, the Humalog Junior KwikPen, in the context of other, similar devices and the developing landscape of smart insulin pens. The Junior KwikPen's suitability for pediatric patients is assessed in reference to a recent study surveying its accuracy and usability under varying conditions intended to simulate real-world use.
