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.

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.

Abstract

objectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of an enhanced software Model Predictive Control (eMPC) algorithm for intravenous insulin infusion, targeted at tight glucose control in critically ill patients, over 72 h, in two intensive care units with different management protocols.

designComparison with standard care in a two center open randomized clinical trial.

settingTwo adult intensive care units in University Hospitals. PATIENTS AND

participantsThirty-four critically ill patients with hyperglycaemia (glucose >120 mg/dL) or already receiving insulin infusion.

interventionsPatients were randomized, within each ICU, to intravenous insulin infusion advised by eMPC algorithm or the ICU's standard insulin infusion administration regimen. MEASUREMENTS AND

resultsArterial glucose concentration was measured at study entry and when advised by eMPC or measured as part of standard care. Time-weighted average glucose concentrations in patients receiving eMPC advised insulin infusions were similar [104 mg/dL (5.8 mmol/L)] in both ICUs. eMPC advised glucose measurement interval was significantly different between ICUs (1.1 vs. 1.8 h, P < 0.01). The standard care insulin algorithms resulted in significantly different time-weighted average glucose concentrations between ICUs [128 vs. 99 mg/dL (7.1 vs. 5.5 mmol/L), P < 0.01].

conclusionsIn this feasibility study the eMPC algorithm provided similar, effective and safe tight glucose control over 72 h in critically ill patients in two different ICUs. Further development is required to reduce glucose sampling interval while maintaining a low risk of hypoglycaemia.
