Advances in safe insulin infusions.
Review in Drugs in context, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Hyperglycaemia is recognized as a marker of adverse clinical outcomes for hospitalized patients with and without diabetes, including mortality, morbidity, increased length of stay, infections and overall complications. In some cases, intravenous (IV) insulin infusions are the optimal intervention and, to date, these have been compounded in hospital pharmacy departments or, alternatively, at the point of care, when timeliness is a concern or the pharmacy is closed. However, in-house compounding of high-risk medications such as IV insulin poses risks both for patients and institutions. The critical nature of certain high-risk therapies has led to the development of ready-to-administer products to improve the safety, timeliness, efficacy and efficiency of critical infusions. Recently, IV insulin, a high-alert therapy, has been added to the ready-to-use armamentarium. This narrative review explores the expanding indications, risks and opportunities associated with insulin infusions and potential options for improved safety.
