Postoperative glycemic control in cardiac surgery patients.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Glycemic control in postoperative cardiac patients is necessary to improve outcomes in wound infection and overall mortality. In recent years, clinical trials evaluating blood glucose control in critically ill patients advocated for intense blood glucose management and found a significant reduction in morbidity and mortality. Some organizations published recommendations regarding blood glucose management in critically ill patients reflecting this information. However, recent clinical trials evaluating blood glucose target ranges in critically ill patients have found conflicting results, which has prompted reevaluation of current goals and guidelines, allowing for less stringent blood glucose target ranges. With the inconsistency of clinical trials evaluating a target blood glucose range for critically ill patients, specifically postoperative cardiac surgery patients, the target blood glucose range is still not clearly defined. Additional comparisons of specific glucose ranges would allow for a clearer definition of recommended blood glucose goals to target in postoperative cardiac patients.
