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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveHypoglycemia increases the risk of adverse neurological outcomes in neonates. Adequate glucose monitoring requires repetitive and painful blood sampling. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) using factory-calibrated sensors to improve glucose monitoring and decrease the frequency of blood samples in neonates. MATERIAL AND

methodsA methodological study was conducted to investigate a correlation of CGMS values with blood glucose measurements.

resultsFactory-calibrated CGMS sensors were placed on 21 infants at risk of hypoglycemia after delivery. CGMS values were compared with blood glucose concentrations. Thirty-seven pairs of CGMS and blood glucose values were obtained. There was a good correlation between CGMS and blood glucose values (R=0.67, p<0.01) with a mean difference (2 standard deviations) of 9.78 (-24.68 to 44.25) mg/dL. The mean differences at <3 hours and ≥3 hours after sensor placement were 17.35 (-4.54 to 39.21) mg/dL and 0.88 (-37.62 to 39.38) mg/dL, respectively. CGMS values were significantly higher than blood glucose concentration at <3 hours after sensor placement (p<0.01), whereas no significant differences in glucose values were observed between the CGMS and blood glucose values at ≥3 hours after sensor placement (p=0.852).

conclusionThe factory-calibrated CGMS was a safe and feasible modality for glucose monitoring. However, it has a tendency to overestimate the blood glucose concentrations. Therefore, this system should be used cautiously for neonates at risk of hypoglycemia, especially within 3 hours after sensor placement.
