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

Purpose: To investigate the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), we evaluated the effects of short-term glycemic variability (GV) on the profile of T cell subpopulations. Methods: A total of 47 T2DM patients with normoalbuminuria, 47 microalbuminuria, and 49 macroalbuminuria were enrolled. The continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) determined the GV of enrolled patients. Flow cytometry was used to determine the proportion of T cell subpopulations. Results: The frequency of T helper (Th) 17 and Th1 cells significantly increased while regulatory T cells (Tregs) significantly decreased in the macroalbuminuria group compared to normoalbuminuria and microalbuminuria groups ( Conclusions: Increased GV could decrease the proportion of Tregs and may impair their function. This may lead to increases in Th1 and Th17 cells, and some inflammatory cytokines, which might contribute to the development and progression of DKD in T2DM.
