Insulin aspart: a review of its use in the management of type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus.
Review in Drugs, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Insulin aspart (NovoRapid, NovoLog) is a short-acting insulin analogue, which has a faster onset and shorter duration of action than regular human insulin. Insulin aspart administered immediately before meals provided significantly greater improvements in glycosylated haemoglobin and better postprandial glycaemic control than regular human insulin administered 30 minutes before meals, when used in a basal-bolus regimen with neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin, in randomised, nonblind studies in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. In patients with type 2 diabetes, insulin aspart provided similar glycaemic control to regular human insulin, administered in a basal-bolus regimen with NPH insulin. Small studies suggest that the use of insulin aspart in combination with oral hypoglycaemic agents may be beneficial. Insulin aspart, administered by continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) provided better glycaemic control than insulin aspart multiple daily injection regimens in patients with type 1 (but not type 2) diabetes, and had similar efficacy to CSII with insulin lispro or regular human insulin in type 1 diabetes. Limited studies show insulin aspart to be effective in children, adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes. Insulin aspart had a tolerability profile similar to that of regular human insulin in clinical trials. The incidence of major or nocturnal hypoglycaemic events reported in patients receiving insulin aspart was lower than that of regular human insulin in several studies. In conclusion, insulin aspart, administered immediately before meals in a basal-bolus regimen with NPH insulin, provided better long-term glycaemic control than regular human insulin administered 30 minutes before meals in patients with type 1 diabetes, and was as effective as regular human insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes. A significantly lower risk of hypoglycaemia was seen in several trials. Insulin aspart CSII provided better glycaemic control than insulin aspart multiple daily subcutaneous injection (MDI) in patients with type 1 (but not type 2) diabetes and had similar efficacy to CSII with insulin lispro or regular human insulin in type 1 diabetes. Insulin aspart is an effective and well tolerated alternative to regular human insulin and insulin lispro for the maintenance of glycaemic control in patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes.
