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

Introduction: We aimed to conduct this study to compare the validity of the HemoCue® Glucose 201 RT System (point-of-care testing (POCT) device) in estimating blood glucose levels in patients attending a tertiary care hospital, considering the automated analyzer method (Vitros® 4600 chemistry system, QuidelOrtho Corporation, USA) as the gold standard. Methods: We conducted this study among the patients attending the outpatient department in a tertiary care hospital in Eastern India. Venous blood was collected to estimate fasting blood glucose (FBS) and postprandial blood glucose (PPBS) using the automated analyzer and the POCT device, along with capillary blood to estimate FBS and PPBS using the POCT device. Results: We enrolled 200 patients with a mean age of 49.4 (standard deviation 12.6) years. Lin's CCC for POCT device compared to automated analyzer (venous blood) for FBS estimation was 0.95 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.94 to 0.96, Conclusion: The POCT device showed substantial concordance with the gold standard method for measuring both FBS and PPBS. It also demonstrated a fair agreement with the automated analyzer in estimating blood glucose levels.
