Changes in inflammatory markers and efficacy analysis of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in senior patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in European geriatric medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThe purpose of this study is to analyze the changes in inflammatory markers and efficacy in the treatment of senior patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and community-acquired pneumonia with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII).
methodsA total of 105 senior patients with T2DM and community-acquired pneumonia, were randomly divided into two groups, viz., treatment group and control group-52 patients in the treatment group were treated with CSII, and 53 patients in the control group with multiple daily insulin injections (MDI). The changes in fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, total number of white blood cells, neutrophils, percentage of neutrophils, lymphocytes, percentage of lymphocytes, C-reactive protein, serum amyloid A, procalcitonin, interleukin-6 indexes, and the improvement in clinical outcome between the two groups were compared on the 5th and the 10th day of treatment.
resultsIn the treatment group, there were 52 patients with an average age of (73.7 ± 8.5) years, which included 28 males and 24 females. In the control group, there were 53 patients, with 27 males and 26 females, with an average age of (74.8 ± 8.8) years. On the 5th and the 10th day of the treatment, the fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, total number of white blood cells, neutrophils, percentage of neutrophils, lymphocytes, percentage of lymphocytes, C-reactive protein, serum amyloid A, procalcitonin and interleukin-6 of the treatment group were better than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The use of CSII was associated with a higher probability of a prompt recovery (P < 0.05).
conclusionThe administration of CSII in the treatment of senior patients with T2DM and community-acquired pneumonia can effectively control fasting and postprandial blood glucose, significantly reduce the levels of inflammatory markers, and improve infection treatment efficacy.
