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

Control of glycemia in hospitalized patients is important; hypoglycemia is associated with increased mortality, and hyperglycemia is associated with adverse outcomes. For these reasons, though no such device is currently available, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is an attractive option, especially in the critical care setting. Schierenbeck and coauthors, in this issue of Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology, report on the use of a specialized central catheter designed to monitor glucose continuously in post cardiac surgery patients. This catheter, which was indwelled within the great veins, was specially designed with a separate lumen and membrane that allowed continuous glucose microdialysis. Accuracy was quite good, better than has been reported with the use of commercially-available CGM devices. Ideally, further development of this quite promising catheter-based device would allow it to be used also to deliver fluids and drugs, thus avoiding the need for a second catheter elsewhere.
