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

Known and consistent bioactivity between samples of insulin is essential to correctly estimate the dose. Insulin concentration is not the same thing as bioactivity, however, and methods to correctly determine both are required. Here we show that one dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (1D NMR), in contrast to, for example, reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography, can be used to determine both insulin concentration as well as confirm the structural integrity required for activity. In response to the report by Carter and Heinemann, we decided to investigate insulin intended for public use. Insulin from several manufacturers was investigated. Correct insulin concentrations were found in all tested samples although the general sample variability, which possibly could influence the bioactivity, varied depending on insulin type and manufacturer.
