Intensive Glycemic Control in Cardiac Surgery.
Review in Current diabetes reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Hyperglycemia has been found to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality in surgical patients, yet, the optimal glucose management strategy during the perioperative setting remains undetermined. While much has been published about hyperglycemia and cardiac surgery, most studies have used widely varying definitions of hyperglycemia, methods of insulin administration, and the timing of therapy. This has only allowed investigators to make general conclusions in this challenging clinical scenario. This review will introduce the basic pathophysiology of hyperglycemia in the cardiac surgery setting, describe the main clinical consequences of operative hyperglycemia, and take the reader through the published material of intensive and conservative glucose management. Overall, it seems that intensive control has modest benefits with adverse effects often outweighing these advantages. However, some studies have indicated differing results for certain patient subgroups, such as non-diabetics with acute operative hyperglycemia. Future studies should focus on distinguishing which patient populations, if any, would optimally benefit from intensive insulin therapy.
