Alterations of glycaemia, insulin resistance and body mass index within the C-peptide optimal range in non-diabetic patients.
Article in Journal of applied biomedicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The study focused on changes or cut-offs of glycaemia, insulin resistance and body mass index within the C-peptide reference range (260-1730 pmol/l). The metabolic profile of individuals in the Czech Republic without diabetes (n = 3186) was classified by whiskers and quartiles of C-peptide into four groups with the following ranges: 290-510 (n = 694), 511-710 (n = 780), 711-950 (n = 720) and 951-1560 pmol/l (n = 673). Fasting levels of glucose, insulin, HOMA IR (Homeostasis Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance) and BMI (body mass index) were compared by a relevant C-peptide range. Participants taking medication to control glycaemia were excluded. The evaluation involved correlations between C-peptides and the above parameters, F-test and t-test. Changes in glucose levels (from 5.3 to 5.6 mmol/l) between the groups were lower in comparison to insulin, which reached relatively greater changes (from 4.0 to 14.2 mIU/l). HOMA IR increased considerably with growing C-peptide concentrations (0.9, 1.5, 2.2 and 3.5) and BMI values showed a similar trend (28.3, 31.0, 33.6 and 37.4). Considerable changes were observed for insulin (5.2 mIU/l, 57.8%) and HOMA IR (1.3, 61.3%) between groups with C-peptide ranges of 711-950 and 951-1560 pmol/l. Although correlations involving C-peptide, insulin, glucose and BMI seemed to be non-significant (up to rxy = 0.25), the mean values of insulin, HOMA IR and BMI showed statistically significant changes between all groups with various C-peptide concentrations (p ≤ 0.001). Generally, most important differences appeared in glucose metabolism and body mass index between C-peptide ranges of 711-950 and 951-1560 pmol/l. Absolute and relative changes of C-peptide concentrations are possible to use for the assessment of glucose regulatory mechanism. The spectrum of investigated parameters could be a useful tool to prevent the risks linked with the alterations of glycaemia.
