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

introductionA new insulin pump system was tested under everyday conditions for user evaluation and safety assessment prior to its launch in Europe. This insulin pump is focused on easy handling and uses prefilled cartridges.

methodsThe pump system was used by 35 adult subjects with type 1 diabetes, experienced in insulin pump therapy, under everyday conditions for approximately one month each. All subjects rated various aspects of the system after home use; technical issues and safety parameters were assessed throughout the study.

resultsAll 35 subjects completed the study as planned and used the system for a total of 1013 days. After home use, 74% of the subjects were very satisfied or quite satisfied with the new pump. The subjects confirmed that the system is easy to use, especially considering general handling, bolus delivery and basal rate settings, infusion set, and cartridge change. Potential for improvements was seen in the touchscreen, warnings and alarms, the blind bolus function, the availability of a bolus calculator (was not available at time of study), and the cartridge size as rated by the study participants. Safety analysis did not raise any concerns for the use of this system.

conclusionThe majority of the users testing the system were satisfied with the novel insulin pump system and the system was safe for use under everyday conditions by this study population.
