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

In situ monitoring of sweat glucose during exercise can provide a real-time and continuous assessment of blood glucose dynamics. However, the relatively poor correlation between sweat and blood glucose concentrations during exercise makes it challenging for blood glucose management (BGM) during exercise therapy for diabetes, along with training for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. This work presents a flexible wireless sweat glucose and pH sensing platform integrated with a pH-based correlation model to accurately predict the continuous changes in blood glucose. The pH-based correlation model calibrates enzyme activity changes in glucose oxidase and accounts for the effects of sweat dilution and filtering during paracellular transport of glucose from interstitial fluid and plasma to sweat during exercise. The correlation model has been validated in both healthy individuals and diabetic patients, revealing distinct blood glucose dynamic patterns between the two cohorts. The observed different glucose fluctuations after the intake of various nutritive foods further facilitate the management of diabetes and allow for the identification of hypo-/hyperglycemic risks during training or fitness exercise. The exercise-based device platform combines continuous blood glucose monitoring with diabetes management through effective treatment evaluation and can also provide early prevention for the at-risk population and reduce or even reverse diabetes.
