Effects of Simulated Adverse Environmental Conditions Related to Actual Conditions at Health Promoting Hospitals on the Performance of Blood Glucose Testing by Glucose Meters.

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
backgroundAnnual peaks in temperature and humidity exceed manufacturers' specifications for blood glucose test strip storage in Thailand. Health Promoting Hospitals (HPH) do not always provide the same level of health services that hospitals do since they often only turn on air-conditioning units during working hours.
methodsThe blood glucose testing performance of 4 glucose meters were investigated for short and long terms stress at 5 simulated conditions. Temperature and relative humidity (RH) at 5 HPHs in different regions of Thailand were monitored for 9 weeks during April to July 2019. The use of air conditioning in storage rooms for storing test strips was surveyed at 131 HPHs using questionnaires.
resultsMedian-paired differences of glucose measurements with stressed test strips in 5 simulated conditions significantly differed (
conclusionsThis study provides evidence for poor performance of blood glucose testing by glucose meters that are affected by adverse environmental conditions. The environmental for test strips storage at HPHs should be considered to prevent analytical errors of glucose measurement.
