Arterial Stiffness and HbA1c: Association Mediated by Insulin Resistance in Hispanic Adults.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Arterial stiffness may be associated with glucose metabolism parameters, such as HbA1c, mainly via insulin resistance. We aimed to investigate the association between arterial stiffness and HbA1c and explore the mediator effect of insulin resistance. In this cross-sectional study, arterial stiffness (pulse-wave velocity; PWV), HbA1c, and insulin resistance (METS-IR) were determined in Hispanic adults. In addition to sex and age, various biochemical measurements (glucose, lipid profile, etc.) and adipose tissue (fat mass and visceral fat mass) were considered as potential confounding variables. A multivariate regression analysis shows that HbA1c is associated with PWV, even after adjusting for several confounding variables. Importantly, the results show that insulin resistance mediated 17.9% of the effect of HbA1c over PWV. In conclusion, HbA1c may be a potential resource for predicting arterial stiffness due to the influence of insulin resistance in Hispanic subjects.
