Improving the Accuracy of Pdot-Based Continuous Glucose Monitoring by Using External Ratiometric Calibration.
Article in Analytical chemistry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) allows type I and II diabetes patients to track changes in their glucose levels, allowing detection of impending hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Polymer dots (Pdots) are candidates for use in implanted CGM systems due to their exceptional brightness, photostability, sensitivity, and biocompatibility. However, Pdot glucose transducers are oxygen-dependent, and changes in tissue oxygen levels affect their measurement accuracy. Here, we describe an external ratiometric calibration method that corrects for changes in tissue oxygen levels to improve measurement accuracy. This method uses the ratio of oxygen concentrations inside and outside the Pdot glucose transducer as an indicator of glucose concentration to correct for signal deviations caused by tissue oxygen fluctuations. A second oxygen-sensitive Pdot that is not conjugated with glucose oxidase is used to measure the oxygen concentration outside the Pdot glucose transducer. We describe the theoretical basis for this approach and demonstrate its effectiveness experimentally in a subcutaneous mouse implant model. This external ratiometric system achieves higher accuracy glucose measurements than previous Pdot-based CGM systems and comparable accuracy to current commercial CGM systems, demonstrating the utility of the external ratiometric calibration strategy.
