Freestyle Libre-Derived Metrics in Assessing Glycemic Control in Diabetic Dogs.
Article in Journal of veterinary internal medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe FreeStyle Libre provides several metrics that are currently recommended for assessing glycemic status and guiding therapy in human medicine. HYPOTHESIS/
objectiveTo evaluate the use of various FreeStyle Libre derived metrics for monitoring glycemic control (GC) in diabetic dogs. ANIMALS: Eighty-five client-owned dogs with diabetes mellitus (DM).
methodsA retrospective review of medical records was performed to search for dogs with DM on insulin treatment and monitored with FreeStyle Libre. To clinically assess GC, the Agreeing Language in Veterinary Endocrinology diabetic clinical score was used (ALIVE-DCS). Metrics evaluated were: percent time in range (TIR%), percent time above range (TAR%), percent time below range (TBR%), mean glucose (MG), percent coefficient of variation (CV%).
resultsTIR%, TAR%, and MG were correlated with the ALIVE-DCS (rs = -0.35, p = 0.02; rs = 0.31, p = 0.038; rs = 0.36; p = 0.016, respectively). The CV% was correlated with MG (rs = -0.70, p < 0.0001). CV% was higher in dogs experiencing low IG values compared to dogs that did not (44% [19-65] vs. 28% [8-67]; p < 0.0001). Dogs with optimal GC had significantly lower MG (240 [108-411] vs. 290 mg/dL [155-478]; p = 0.006) and TAR% (48% [0-93] vs. 64% [12-100]; p = 0.006) and significantly higher TIR% (49.5% [7-100] vs. 35.0% [0-85]; p = 0.009) compared with dogs with sub-optimal GC. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: FreeStyle Libre derived metrics, particularly TIR%, TAR%, MG, and CV%, have potential utility in assessing GC in diabetic dogs.
