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

purposeTo provide a new system of in-hospital blood glucose team management combined with a network blood glucose monitoring system and analyse the effect on hyperglycaemic participants' blood glucose control in noncritical care units.

methodsHyperglycaemic participants in noncritical care units were divided into two groups. They underwent active intervention by the hospital's blood glucose management team or the routine consultation group. The better method, based on a shorter length of stay (LOS) and lower hospital cost, could be selected by comparing the two blood glucose management strategies.

resultsCompared with the routine consultation group, the team management group had a higher detection rate of hyperglycaemia (18.49% vs 16.17%, P<0.01) and glycosylated haemoglobin (51.53% vs 30.97%, P<0.01) and a lower incidence rate of hyperglycaemia (59.24% vs 61.59%, P<0.01), severe hyperglycaemia (3.56% vs 5.19%, P<0.01) and clinically significant hypoglycaemia (0.26% vs 0.35%, P<0.05). Simultaneously, blood glucose drift (mmol/L) (2.50 (1.83, 3.25) vs 2.76 (2.01, 3.57), P<0.01), blood glucose coefficient of variation (%) (28.86 (22.70, 34.83) vs 29.80 (23.47, 36.13), P<0.01), maximum blood glucose fluctuation (mmol/L) (9.30 (6.20, 13.10) vs 10.10 (7.00, 14.40), P<0.01) and nosocomial infection (5.42% vs 8.05%, P<0.05) were all lower among participants in the team management group. In addition, the LOS (P<0.001) and hospital costs (P<0.001) of participants were lower in the team management group.

conclusionIn-hospital blood glucose team management combined with a network blood glucose monitoring system effectively improved the blood glucose control and fluctuation levels of participants who were admitted to noncritical care units, thereby reducing LOS and hospital cost.
