Fasting pancreatic polypeptide predicts incident microvascular and macrovascular complications of type 2 diabetes: An observational study.
Observational study in Diabetes/metabolism research and reviews, 2024. 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
aimsPancreatic polypeptide (PP) is elevated in people with vascular risk factors such as type 2 diabetes or increased visceral fat. We investigated potential relationships between PP and microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes. MATERIALS AND
methodsAnimal study: Subcutaneous PP infusion for 4 weeks in high fat diet mouse model. Retinal mRNA submitted for Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Human study: fasting PP measured in 1478 participants and vascular complications recorded over median 5.5 (IQR 4.9-5.8) years follow-up.
resultsAnimal study: The retinal transcriptional response to PP was indicative of cellular stress and damage, and this footprint matched responses described in previously published studies of retinal disease. Of mechanistic importance the transcriptional landscape was consistent with upregulation of folliculin, a recently identified susceptibility gene for diabetic retinopathy. Human study: Adjusting for established risk factors, PP was associated with prevalent and incident clinically significant retinopathy (odds ratio (OR) 1.289 (1.107-1.501) p = 0.001; hazard ratio (HR) 1.259 (1.035-1.531) p = 0.0213), albuminuria (OR 1.277 (1.124-1.454), p = 0.0002; HR 1.608 (1.208-2.141) p = 0.0011), and macrovascular disease (OR 1.021 (1.006-1.037) p = 0.0068; HR 1.324 (1.089-1.61), p = 0.0049), in individuals with type 2 diabetes, and progression to diabetes in non-diabetic individuals (HR 1.402 (1.081-1.818), p = 0.0109).
conclusionsElevated fasting PP is independently associated with vascular complications of diabetes and affects retinal pathways potentially influencing retinal neuronal survival. Our results suggest possible new roles for PP-fold peptides in the pathophysiology of diabetes complications and vascular risk stratification.
