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

Acute hyperglycemia frequently present in stress conditions, has long been generally accepted as normal, and not thought to be a cause for concern since a moderate hyperglycemia in critically ill adult patients has been thought to be beneficial during the "fight or flight" response to ensure a supply of glucose as a source of energy to organs that do not require insulin for glucose uptake (i.e., the brain and the immune system). However, an increasing body of evidence associates the upon-admission degree and duration of hyperglycemia during critical illness with an adverse outcome. Hyperglycemia should be regarded as a part of the systemic and complex metabolic derangements observed in critical illness in response to stress and inflammation, which can lead, independent of initial disease, to multiorgan dysfunction and death. A tight glycemic control should be constantly pursued and achieved by insulin infusion bearing in mind that the therapeutic target is fighting the systemic inflammatory response and not merely the glucose plasma levels.
