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

Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) is a multifactorial disease associated not only with hyperglycaemia but also with circulatory disturbances such as hypertension. A close interaction between the immune system and hypertension is known. It remains unclear whether the inflammatory response is associated with hypertension in the pathology of human DPN. Autopsied patients were evaluated: 7 non-diabetic patients (nDM), 11 non-diabetic patients with hypertension (nDMHT), 6 patients with diabetes (DM) and 9 patients with hypertension and diabetes (DMHT). Intraepidermal nerve fibre density (IENFD) was examined by immunofluorescent staining. Dissected sural nerve (SNs) were morphometrically quantified. Dermal and endoneurial macrophage infiltration was evaluated by double immunostaining using anti-CD68 and anti-CD206 antibodies. IENFD was significantly decreased in DM compared to nDM (p < 0.05) and was further decreased in DMHT (p < 0.05). Myelinated nerve fibre density (MNFD) in the SN was significantly decreased in DM compared with nDM (p < 0.05) and further decreased in DMHT (p < 0.01 vs. DM). The infiltration of CD206
