Tackling problem nonlinearities & delays via asymmetric, state-dependent objective costs in MPC of an artificial pancreas.
Article in IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The design of a Model Predictive Control (MPC) law for an Artificial Pancreas (AP) that automatically delivers insulin to people with type 1 diabetes mellitus is considered. An MPC law was recently proposed that exploits the simplicity of linear dynamical models, but is in two ways a 'nonlinear' departure of standard linear MPC, while circumnavigating the complexity of cumbersome, fully nonlinear MPC approaches. The first of two issues focused on is the nonlinearity of the control problem, and it is demonstrated how this can be tackled via asymmetric objective functions. The second issue is controller induced hypoglycemia resulting from the large delay in actuation and sensing. The proposed MPC strategy employs an asymmetric, state-dependent objective function that leads to a nonlinear optimization problem. The result is an AP controller with significantly elevated safety and comparable control performance. The contribution of this paper is a detailed in-silico analysis of the proposed control law, and a clinical demonstration of the benefits of asymmetric objective functions.
