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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundRecently, an association between impaired diastolic function and increased urinary albumin excretion has been hypothesized.

objectivesWe tried to assess the association between diastolic function and micro albuminuria in normotensive no diabetic obese individuals. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 186 consecutive obese normotensive no diabetic individuals who were older than 18 years and attended the outpatient health clinic at the Tehran Municipality in 2011. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were measured using a standard mercury sphygmomanometer. Micro albuminuria was defined as abnormal urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) between 30 and 300 mg/g/d.

resultsAn adverse significant linear correlations was found between the UACR measurement and diastolic function (r = -0.184 and P = 0.012); however, this correlation was insignificant for systolic function (r = 0.007 and P = 0.926). Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that UACR index had a significant reverse correlation with diastolic function (Standardized Beta = -0.218 and P = 0.006).

conclusionsOur study obtained some evidences on the association of micro albuminuria with diastolic dysfunction in obese normotensive no diabetic individuals. Nonetheless, more assessment is necessary for obtaining a causal relationship between micro albuminuria and diastolic dysfunction.
