1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

objectivesTo determine whether children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) have evidence of increased aortic stiffness or early atherosclerosis as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

backgroundT1DM increases risk for cardiovascular disease in adults but whether this process starts in childhood is unknown. SUBJECTS: A total of 54 T1DM patients (15.4 ± 2.6 yr) and 30 age-matched controls (14.8 ± 2.7 yr) participated.

methodsMRI was performed to assess aortic arch pulse wave velocity (PWV), strain, and distensibility of the ascending and descending thoracic aorta and measures of atherosclerosis.

resultsGroups were well-matched for age, pulse pressure, and gender. Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) was higher in T1DM (119.3 ± 50 vs. 76.1 ± 13.5 mg/dL, p < 0.0001). There was a trend toward decreased strain and distensibility in T1DM vs. controls in the ascending (distensibility: T1DM 62.2 ± 19.9 kPa⁻¹ × 10⁻³, control 71.6 ± 26.4 kPa⁻¹ × 10⁻³, p = 0.08) and descending aorta (strain: T1DM 25.8 ± 6.2% vs. control 28.3 ± 6.8%, p = 0.09). There was no difference in arch PWV. Advancing age and male gender was negatively associated with aortic stiffness. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was inversely related to descending aorta strain and distensibility (p < 0.05). Children with diabetes in the lowest two tertiles of insulin sensitivity demonstrated thoracic descending aortas with significantly lower strain (p = 0.027) and distensibility (p = 0.039) and increased measures of wall irregularity (p = 0.005). There were no differences in measurements of atherosclerosis between the two groups.

conclusionsAdolescents with T1DM, especially those with lower insulin sensitivity, demonstrated a trend toward stiffer, less compliant thoracic aortas, which was inversely associated with diabetes control. These data suggest large vessel aortopathy starts early in T1DM.
