Perceived value of self-monitoring blood glucose by primary care physicians and endocrinologists.

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
The value of self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) in patients with non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (NITT2DM) has been debated; however, the practice remains common. Patient perception of SMBG has been documented in several qualitative studies. However, the literature is lacking on the perceived value of SMBG by providers. This study used a structured questionnaire to evaluate and compare the perceived value, recommended frequency, and utility of SMBG in patients with NITT2DM by primary care providers (PCPs) and endocrinologists. A total of 70 PCPs and 14 endocrinologists completed the questionnaire. The results suggest that PCPs and endocrinologists find the practice of SMBG valuable in NITT2DM and believe it promotes behavioral changes in their patients. However, endocrinologists tend to recommend more frequent SMBG and find SMBG values more useful in making medication decisions. Conversely, PCPs tend to find the hemoglobin A1c more valuable than SMBG in making medication adjustments.
