Tight and stable glucose control is associated with better prognosis in patients hospitalized for Covid-19 and pneumonia.
Observational study in Acta diabetologica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimsTo investigate possible associations of glucose patterns with outcomes of Corona Virus Disease 19 (COVID-19) using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in 43 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 mild-to-moderate pneumonia, regardless of diabetes.
methodsProspective observational study conducted during two pandemic waves in 2020-2021. Glucose sensor metrics of 7-day recording were obtained from blinded CGM. Respiratory function was evaluated as arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO
resultsPaO
conclusionsLower glucose variability and optimal glucose control, expressed as CV and TITR, are CGM metrics predictive of a better prognosis in COVID-19 patients with pneumonia.
