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.

Abstract

backgroundRecent development of automated closed-loop (CL) insulin delivery systems, the so-called artificial pancreas (AP), improved the quality of type 1 diabetes (T1D) therapy. As new technologies emerge, patients put increasing trust in their therapeutic devices; therefore, it becomes increasingly important to detect malfunctioning affecting such devices. In this work, we explore a new paradigm to detect insulin pump faults (IPFs) that use unsupervised anomaly detection.

methodsWe generated CL data corrupted with IPFs using the latest version of the T1D Padova/UVA simulator. From the data, we extracted several features capable to describe the patient dynamics and making more apparent suspicious data portions. Then, a feature selection is performed to determine the optimal feature set. Finally, the performance of several popular unsupervised anomaly detection algorithms is analyzed and compared on the identified optimal feature set.

resultsUsing the identified optimal configuration, the best performance is obtained by the Histogram-Based Outlier Score (HBOS) algorithm, which detected 87% of the IPF with only 0.08 false positives per day on average. Isolation forest is the best algorithm that offers more conservative performances, detection of 85% of the faults but only 0.06 false positives per day on average.

conclusionUnsupervised anomaly detection algorithms can be used effectively to detect IPFs and improve the safety of the AP. Future studies will be dedicated to test the presented method inside dedicated clinical trials.
