Regular Insulin Versus NPH Insulin for Continuous Enteral Tube Feeding in Hospitalized Patients.

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
There is no standard insulin regimen for treating hyperglycemia in patients receiving continuous enteral tube feeding (TF) in the hospital setting. This study compared the use of regular insulin versus NPH insulin for this purpose. Glucose levels were significantly lower in the regular insulin group than in the NPH insulin group, as were the number of days with hyperglycemia or severe hyperglycemia. There were also fewer insulin injections with regular insulin than with NPH insulin. Thus, use of regular insulin yielded better glycemic control than the use of NPH insulin for covering continuous TF.
