Nutritional Risk Factors in Albuminuria and Retinopathy in Patients Newly Diagnosed With Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-sectional Case Series Study.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimAlthough nutritional risk factors for developing complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have been examined, the effect of protein intake on nephropathy is debated, and there is little research on retinopathy. This cross-sectional case-series study aimed to examine the risk factors, including nutritional status, for complications in patients newly diagnosed with T2DM. PATIENTS AND
methodsFifty-four patients were recruited, based on the results of examinations of blood glucose and/or glycated hemoglobin level for T2DM. To evaluate nutritional status, blood and urine examinations were performed and the Food Frequency Questionnaire was administered. Two-way analysis of variance, Fisher's exact test and logistic regression analyses were performed.
resultsThe patients were categorized into four groups: 24 without albuminuria and without retinopathy, four without albuminuria with retinopathy, 21 with albuminuria without retinopathy, and five with albuminuria with retinopathy. Logistic analysis of albuminuria revealed that estimated sodium intake was significantly independent as the explanatory factors of age, sex, and body mass index. Patients with retinopathy had significantly higher blood urea nitrogen, and significantly lower plasma total protein levels than patients without retinopathy, suggesting that retinopathy is related to a higher catabolic state. Through a questionnaire on food intake, patients with retinopathy had a significantly lower intake of fat and monounsaturated fatty acids and a significantly higher intake of iodine based on intake of seaweed, corrected for energy intake, than patients without retinopathy.
conclusionThe present study may lead to planning a large cohort study for examining nutritional risk factors related to complications in patients newly diagnosed with T2DM in Japan.
