Blood glucose and stroke.
Article in Current treatment options in cardiovascular medicine, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
opinion statementCurrent recommendations for the treatment of abnormal blood glucose levels for stroke rely on evidence-based guidelines. Ongoing advances in neuroimaging, tissue studies, animal studies, and case series and reports present findings that expose additional variables to be considered in the causal analysis of the role of diabetes and glucose control for stroke occurrence and outcome. The physician when treating the individual patient must fold this information into that provided by large clinical trials. Consideration of all information available without limitation to results from large, double-blind randomized trials allows the physician to expect and thus forecast the result of clinical action by understanding the complexity of the situation. Avoiding hypoglycemia and levels of hyperglycemia able to produce symptoms of stroke and cerebral damage by themselves would seem common sense. The plethora of evidence consistent with worse outcome and increased mortality in acutely ill and stroke patients with hyperglycemia also would call for treatment, with prudent avoidance of hypoglycemia. These rules appear to apply for hemorrhage as well as ischemia, and aggressive recommendations for lowing blood glucose caution against hypoglycemia.
