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
backgroundArtificial pancreas is usually used to manage hyperglycemia. We controlled prolonged hypoglycemia induced by insulin overdose using artificial pancreas. CASE PRESENTATION: A 56-year-old female patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus was admitted to the emergency department after overdosing on 1,800 units each of insulin aspart and insulin degludec. She had also ingested 2 weeks of anti-anxiety medication. When the patient arrived at the hospital, her blood glucose level was 30 mg/dL and she was in a coma. Artificial pancreas (STG-55; Nikkiso, Tokyo, Japan) was used to control blood glucose levels because we were unable to predict the duration or degree of hypoglycemia. Blood glucose levels were safely controlled without the development of hypo- or hyperglycemia. Finally, the patient was discharged without any complications on day 7.
conclusionThe STG-55 artificial pancreas was very useful and convenient for controlling blood glucose levels in our insulin overdose patient.
