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

objectiveTo examine the intra- and inter-device reliability of devices using pressure-mediated reflection spectroscopy (the Veggie Meter®).

designA cross-sectional research study was conducted across eight sites in the USA. Using two Veggie Meters® at each site, participants completed five, counter-balanced pairs of finger scans. Intra-device comparisons included intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) and calculation of the CV and 95 % CI of each device/site; hypothesised to be ≤ 6 %. Inter-device comparisons included ICC, absolute relative differences (ARD) and 95 % CI, and equivalence; both hypothesised to be ≤ 10 %.

settingEight sites across the USA.

participantsAcross sites, participants' (

resultsIntra-device ICC ranged from 0·77 to 0·99. The CV ranged from 6·2 to 14·2 %, with an average of 8·8 %. A majority (63 %;

conclusionsOur study demonstrates the intra-device and inter-device reliability to be moderate to high, as per ICC. The observed margin of difference within a device was up to 14 %, with an average of 9 %. The observed margin of difference between devices was up to 22 %, with an average of 14 % between devices.
