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
Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion for Type 1 diabetes relies upon insulin infusion sets (IIS) to reliably deliver insulin to a subcutaneous depot, where it is absorbed into systemic circulation. However, IIS are plagued by short wear times and high failure rates, due in part to inconsistent insulin absorption that can arise over time. While emerging evidence suggests that the local inflammatory response to the IIS cannula may impact both wear times and unreliable insulin adsorption, the mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the effects of local infused insulin concentrations on the biomaterial host response to better understand the underlying factors that limit the IIS performance. We first modeled the insulin concentration for a constant basal infusion rate to select a relevant insulin concentration range of 0.1-10 U/mL within the infusion site. We then examined the influence of a commercial insulin analogue (Humulin-N) using an in vitro macrophage-material model, which uses adsorbed fibroblast lysate (containing damage-associated molecular patterns) to activate macrophages and recapitulates macrophage responses on implanted biomaterials. RAW-Blue macrophages cultured on lysate-adsorbed surfaces had increased nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and activating protein 1 (AP-1) activity and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation compared to control surfaces. Humulin-N concentration (0.5-10 U/mL) enhanced the NF-κB/AP-1 activity and ROS accumulation in macrophages on lysate-adsorbed surfaces. However, Humulin-N had no effect on NF-κB/AP-1 or ROS in the absence of the inflammatory stimulus. Additionally, high insulin concentrations arising from therapeutic doses induced macrophage apoptosis with and without adsorbed lysate. This study contributes to emerging evidence that infused insulin affects the tissue response to IIS.
