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

Intensive management of diabetes is identified as a critical component of inpatient care. However, the fundamental question that remains is whether controlling glycemia in noncritically ill diabetes patients at the lower end of the current guidelines improves outcomes of hospitalization, long-term outcomes of the primary condition, and long-term outcomes of diabetes compared with average glycemia greater than 180 mg/dl. A group of clinical investigators--Planning Research in Inpatient Diabetes (PRIDE)--is preparing randomized controlled trials with the hope of defining optimal glycemic targets for hospitalized patients with diabetes. Given the variety of clinical situations that can occur in the inpatient setting, many medical centers have established dedicated inpatient diabetes teams. There is ample evidence, albeit retrospective, that these teams improve inpatient glucose control and reduce lengths of hospital stays. Using hospitalization as an opportunity to educate patients about diabetes and to optimize their treatment regimen may improve long-term outpatient glycemic control.
