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

backgroundA variety of prescriptions and over-the-counter medications interfere with transcutaneous continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors. This study characterized the interference profile of the Eversense MATERIALS AND

methodsSensor bias (sensor glucose concentration measurement - plasma glucose concentration measured by a reference test) was measured in vitro against 41 different substances at supratherapeutic/supraphysiologic plasma concentrations. Testing was performed using a paired-sample method adapted from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidance document EP7-A2. Any substance producing sensor bias that exceeded the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) document 15197:2013 limits was then tested using an in vitro dose-response method to determine whether the concentration producing a significant sensor bias was within physiologic/therapeutic concentration ranges.

resultsEight of 41 substances produced a sensor bias that exceeded ISO 15197:2013 limits when tested in vitro at supratherapeutic/supraphysiologic plasma concentrations. Only two of these substances (tetracycline and mannitol) exceeded bias limits within therapeutic concentration ranges. Notably, neither acetaminophen nor ascorbic acid, which are substances reported to interfere with other CGM systems, produced sensor bias that exceeded ISO limits when used at physiologic concentrations.

conclusionsAlthough tetracycline and mannitol interfered with the Eversense sensor, substances frequently reported to interfere with enzymatic, electrochemical-based transcutaneous CGM systems, such as acetaminophen and ascorbic acid, did not affect Eversense readings.
