Electronic dashboard-based remote glycemic management program reduces length of stay and readmission rate among hospitalized adults.
Article in Journal of diabetes investigation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
AIMS/
introductionCurrently, the impact of hospital-wide glycemic control interventions on length of hospital stay (LOS) and readmission rates are largely unknown. We investigated the impact of a 4-year hospital-wide remote glycemic management program on LOS and 30-day readmission rates among hospitalized adults who received glucose monitoring. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this retrospective study, hospitalized patients who received glucose monitoring were classified into groups 1 (high glucose variability), 2 (hypoglycemia), 3 (hyperglycemia) and 4 (relatively stable). The monthly percentage changes, and average monthly percentage changes of hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia and treat to target were determined using joinpoint regression analysis.
resultsA total of 106,528 hospitalized patients (mean age 60.9 ± 18.5 years, 57% men) were enrolled. We observed a significant reduction in the percentage of inpatients in poor glycemic control groups (groups 1, 2 and 3, all P < 0.001), and a reciprocal increase in the relatively stable group (group 4) from 2016 to 2019. We found a significant reduction in LOS by 11.4% (10.5-9.3 days, P = 0.002, after adjustment for age, sex, and admission department). The 30-day readmission rate decreased from 29.9% to 29.3%, mainly among those in group 4 in 2019 (P < 0.001 after adjustment of sex, age, admission department and LOS).
conclusionsImproved glycemic control through a hospital-wide electronic remote glycemic management system reduced LOS and 30-day readmission rates. Findings observed in this study might be associated with the reduction in cost of avoidable hospitalizations.
