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

purposeContinuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is increasingly being used in inpatient pediatric diabetes care; however, data on its real-world accuracy remain limited.

methodsWe retrospectively assessed the clinical accuracy of factory-calibrated Dexcom G6 and G7 CGM systems in 69 pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes at a Korean tertiary hospital between 2019 and 2025. A total of 1,838 CGM readings were temporally paired with point-of-care (POC) capillary glucose measurements. Accuracy was evaluated using the mean absolute relative difference (MARD), mean absolute difference (MAD), Bland-Altman analysis, and Clarke error grid classification. Subgroup analyses were performed according to wear day, glucose range, care setting, and CGM type.

resultsThe overall MARD was 10.6%±10.1% and MAD was 15.4±16.2 mg/dL. Accuracy improved over time, with MARD declining from 13.8% (G6) and 11.0% (G7) on day 1 to <10% on days 6 and 4, respectively. Bland-Altman limits narrowed from ±60 to ±39 mg/dL. During Days 6-11, 85.9% of CGM-POC pairs were within Clarke zone A and 94.1% within zones A and B. The MAD increased with higher glucose levels, whereas the MARD was highest during hypoglycemia (15.2%) and lowest during hyperglycemia (8.5 %). Intensive care unit admission significantly increased the MAD (p<0.001) without affecting the MARD. G7 demonstrated superior accuracy compared with G6 (pooled MARD: 9.8% vs. 11.2%, p=0.003). Mixed-effects modeling confirmed that wear day was an independent predictor of accuracy improvement (-0.34% MARD/day, p=0.001).

conclusionThe Dexcom G6 and G7 CGM systems met the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 15197:2013 and U.S. Food and Drug Administration integrated-CGM criteria after a short inpatient stabilization period.
