Simultaneous point-of-care testing of blood lipid profile and glucose: Performance evaluation of the GCare Lipid Analyzer.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundPoint-of-care (POC) testing provides quick results and includes tests for blood glucose and lipid profiles. We evaluated the newly developed POC device, the GCare Lipid Analyzer, which is used to measure glucose, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels.
methodsVenous and capillary blood samples were collected from patients who visited Korea University Guro Hospital. The results obtained using the GCare Lipid Analyzer were compared with those obtained using the TBA 2000FR chemistry analyzer and YSI 2300 STAT Plus analyzer. The glucose system evaluation process was based on the International Organization for Standardization 15197:2013 guidelines.
resultsThe correlation coefficients (R) for TC, TG, and HDL-C were 0.965, 0.969, and 0.943 in capillary blood and 0.969, 0.990, and 0.956 in venous blood, respectively. The total errors for TC, TG, and HDL-C of the lipid profile using venous blood were all acceptable at 6.6%, 9.3%, and 11.6%, respectively. For glucose concentrations <100 mg/dl, 96.1% of the measured glucose levels were within ±15 mg/dl in venous samples and 100% were within ±15 mg/dl in capillary samples. For glucose concentrations ≥100 mg/dl, 100% and 99.5% of the measured glucose levels were within 15% for venous and capillary blood, respectively.
conclusionThe performance of the GCare Lipid Analyzer is acceptable for both blood glucose and lipid profile testing, indicating that it is reliable for use in patients with diabetic dyslipidemia.
