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

Presented is a series of narrative reviews that summarize published information regarding the effect or potential effect of interfering substances on the accuracy of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices. Whilst drawing together what is currently known regarding this topic, the future direction in this field and clinical implications posed by polypharmacy on CGM performance are considered. This fourth and final in this series of articles reviews the following topics: the benefits and drawbacks of conducting interfering substance studies in vitro versus in vivo; the balance between the cost and complexity of undertaking in vitro or in vivo studies to screen for potential interferences versus the clinical relevance of the findings; clinical factors influencing interferent behavior on CGM performance (pharmacokinetics and polypharmacy considerations); the need for standardization, including consideration of the metrological traceability of CGM readings, establishment of CGM analytical performance metrics and standardized CGM assessment procedures for measuring interferents.
