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/
introductionWe examined the impact of scanning frequency with flash glucose monitoring on glycemic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study included 85 patients, aged 14.0 ± 0.5 years, with type 1 diabetes. The median time in the target glucose range (TIR) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values were 50.0 ± 1.4% and 7.5 ± 0.1%, respectively.
resultsThe median scanning frequency using flash glucose monitoring was 12.0 ± 0.4 times/day. Scanning frequency showed a significant positive correlation with TIR and an inverse correlation with HbA1c. Scanning frequency was identified to be the determinant of TIR and HbA1c by using multivariate analysis. The participants whose scanning frequency was <12 times/day were categorized as the low-frequency group (n = 40), and those who carried out the scanning >12 times/day were categorized as the high-frequency group (n = 45). Patients in the high-frequency group were more likely to be treated with insulin pumps compared with those in the low-frequency group; however, this difference was not significant (21.3 vs 5.3%, P = 0.073). The high-frequency group showed significantly greater TIR than the low-frequency group (57 ± 1.6 vs 42 ± 1.7%, P = 0.002). Furthermore, the high-frequency group showed significantly lower HbA1c levels than the low-frequency group (6.8 ± 0.1 vs 8.0 ± 0.1%, P < 0.001).
conclusionsThese findings showed that patients with a higher scanning frequency had better glycemic control, with greater TIRs and lower HbA1c levels, compared with those with a lower scanning frequency. Scanning frequency of >12 times/day might contribute to better glycemic outcomes in real-world practice in children with type 1 diabetes.
