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

introductionBlood glucose monitoring systems (BGMS) should provide sufficient analytical quality to allow adequate therapy for diabetes patients. Besides system accuracy, measurement precision is an important aspect of a BGMS' analytical quality.

methodsBased on ISO 15197:2013/EN ISO 15197:2015, system accuracy, measurement repeatability, and intermediate measurement precision were assessed. ISO 15197:2013 system accuracy criteria require that ⩾95% of individual BGMS' test strip lot results shall fall within ±15 mg/dl or ±15% of corresponding comparison method results (at glucose concentrations <100 mg/dl and ⩾100 mg/dl, respectively), and that ⩾99% of results fall within consensus error grid (CEG) zones A and B. Measurement repeatability was assessed using venous blood samples, whereas intermediate measurement precision was assessed using control solution samples. Standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV) were calculated for glucose concentrations <100 mg/dl and ⩾100 mg/dl, respectively. Precision acceptance criteria are not specified by ISO 15197:2013.

resultsAll three BGMS fulfilled system accuracy criteria with 96% to 98% of individual test strip lot's results falling within the acceptable accuracy limits. All measurement results fell within CEG zones A and B. For measurement repeatability, SD was ⩽3.3 mg/dl, and CV was ⩽3.9% for the investigated BGMS. Assessment of intermediate measurement precision showed SD ⩽1.3 mg/dl and CV ⩽3.0%.

conclusionAll three BGMS fulfilled system accuracy criteria of ISO 15197:2013. In absence of acceptance criteria, precision results were found to be consistent with the manufacturer's labeling of the investigated devices.
