Real-World Hypoglycemia Avoidance With a Predictive Low Glucose Alert Does Not Depend on Frequent Screen Views.
Article in Journal of diabetes science and technology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundFrequent real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) data viewing has been associated with reduced mean glucose and frequent scanning of an intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) system has been associated with reduced hypoglycemia for patients with diabetes. However, requiring patients to frequently interact with their glucose monitoring devices to detect actual or impending hypoglycemia is burdensome. We hypothesized that a predictive low glucose alert, which forecasts glucose ≤55 mg/dL within 20 minutes and is included in a new rtCGM system, could mitigate hypoglycemia without requiring frequent device interaction.
methodsWe analyzed estimated glucose values (EGVs) from an anonymized convenience sample of 15,000 patients who used Dexcom G6 (Dexcom, Inc, San Diego, CA, USA) and its mobile app for at least 30 days with or without the "Urgent Low Soon" alert (ULS) enabled. Screen view frequency was determined as the frequency with which the trend screen was accessed on the app. Multiple screen views within any 5-minute interval were counted as one. Hypoglycemia exposure for patients in the top and bottom quartiles of screen view frequency (>8.25 and <3.30 per day, respectively) was calculated as the percentage of EGVs below various thresholds.
resultsOver 93% of users enabled the ULS alert; its use was associated with significantly reduced hypoglycemia <55 and <70 mg/dL, independent of screen view frequency.
conclusionUse of the G6 ULS alert may disencumber rtCGM users by promoting significant reductions in hypoglycemia without requiring frequent device interactions.
