Capillary and Venous Blood Glucose Accuracy in Blood Glucose Meters Versus Reference Standards: The Impact of Study Design on Accuracy Evaluations.
Article in Journal of diabetes science and technology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundAnecdotal blood glucose assessments conducted by health care professionals (HCPs) in the field have highlighted differences in results when methodology used is not according to best practices for measuring blood glucose. This study assessed the impact on accuracy of blood glucose measurements when methodology deviates from the recommended study design and recommended reference instrument.
methodsAdults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes provided capillary and venous blood samples for accuracy assessments using OneTouch® Verio® (Verio) and OneTouch® Ultra 2® (Ultra) blood glucose meters (BGM) and two different reference instruments.
resultsIncreases in mean bias were observed when comparing capillary to venous samples tested on the BGMs and the recommended reference instrument. Mean bias was even greater when a hospital blood glucose analyzer was used to measure venous plasma glucose. Increases in mean bias observed for Ultra BGM when testing venous blood on the meter compared to the recommended reference instrument was likely due to the interfering effects of low oxygen levels in the venous blood sample. Conversely, Verio meters, which are insensitive to low oxygen levels, showed little difference from baseline when testing venous blood on the meter compared to results from the same venous sample measured on a reference instrument.
conclusionsDeviations from the best practice study design of comparing capillary blood glucose results tested on the blood glucose meter with the manufacturer's stated reference instrument will affect accuracy of blood glucose measurements.
