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

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has been linked to increased osteocyte apoptosis, local accumulation of mineralized lacunar spaces, and microdamage suggesting an impairment of the mechanoregulation network in affected individuals. Diabetic neuropathy might exacerbate this dysfunction through direct effects on bone turnover, and indirect effects on balance, muscle strength, and gait. However, the in vivo effects of impaired bone mechanoregulation on bone remodeling in humans remain underexplored. This longitudinal cohort study assessed consenting participants with T1DM and varying degree of distal symmetric sensorimotor polyneuropathy (T1DM, n = 20, median age 46.5 yr, eight female) and controls (CTRL; n = 9, median age 59.0 yr, four female) at baseline and 4-yr follow-up. Nerve conduction in participants with T1DM was tested using DPNCheck and bone remodeling was quantified with longitudinal high-resolution peripheral quantitative-computed tomography (HR-pQCT, 82 μm) at the standard distal sites. Local trabecular bone formation (Tb.F) and resorption (Tb.R) sites were captured by implementing 3D rigid image registration of HR-pQCT images, and the mechanical environment across the bone microarchitecture at these sites was simulated using micro-finite element analysis. We calculated odds ratios to determine the likelihood of bone formation (ORF) and resorption (ORR) with increasing/decreasing strain in percent as markers for mechanoregulation. At the distal radius, Tb.F was 47% lower and Tb.R was 59% lower in T1DM participants compared with CTRL (P < .05). Tb.F correlated positively with nerve conduction amplitude (R = 0.69, P < .05) in participants with T1DM and negatively with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (R = -0.45, P < .05). Additionally, ORF was 34% lower and ORR was 18% lower in T1DM compared with CTRL (P < .05). Our findings represent in vivo evidence suggesting that bone remodeling in individuals with T1DM is in a state of low responsiveness to mechanical stimuli, resulting in impaired bone formation and resorption rates; these correlate to the degree of neuropathy and level of diabetes control.
