Ingredients for adequate evaluation of blood glucose algorithms as applied to the critically ill.
Synthesis in Critical care (London, England), 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The article by Eslami and colleagues provides an overview of the indicators used to measure the quality of blood glucose control in patients admitted to the intensive care unit. Each indicator can be related to one or more of the following categories: blood glucose zones, blood glucose levels, time intervals, and features of the insulin titration algorithm. Some important issues (for instance those concerning the clarity of definitions used for glycaemic thresholds) are raised. This systematic review calls for a practical guide to advise the clinician how different blood glucose signals should (ideally) be evaluated and which steps should to be undertaken.
