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

Critically ill patients are predisposed to stress-induced hyperglycemia. Recent evidence suggests that uncontrolled hyperglycemia is associated with poor outcomes within the population of surgical and medical intensive care units. We retrospectively audited our practice in the management of hyperglycemia in the critically ill, in order to identify reasons and periods of time that deviations in blood glucose control are most likely, and to make recommendations on how to improve this. Our study showed poor compliance with the current recommendations for glycemic control in the critically ill and highlighted the need for a successful protocol for glycemic control in our institution. That should be carefully coordinated with the level of nutritional support and metabolic status of the acutely ill patient.
