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

Abnormalities of carbohydrate antigen 19 - 9 (CA19-9) are common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and in some patients, CA19-9 returns to normal level after glycemic control. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors associated with CA19-9 levels in patients with T2DM and the associated influences on the degree of reduction of CA19-9 levels after antidiabetic therapy (AT). This study was an observational cross-sectional study. A total of 213 patients with T2DM were enrolled in this study, of whom 105 with abnormal CA19-9 and 108 with normal CA19-9. Socio-demographic information, complete blood counts, biochemical indicators, thyroid function indicators, and CA19-9 level were collected separately for each subject. Levels of glycosylated hemoglobin, type A1C (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose (FBG) were significantly higher in T2DM patients with abnormal CA19-9 compared to patients with normal CA19-9 (both FDR < 0.001). CA19-9 level was significantly and positively correlated with neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (r = 0.16, P = 0.02), monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR) (r = 0.16, P = 0.02), and FBG (r = 0.38, P < 0.001), while significantly and negatively correlated with free triiodothyronine (FT3) (r=-0.22, P = 0.002) and albumin count (r=-0.18, P = 0.007). After AT, the degree of decrease in CA19-9 level in T2DM patients with abnormal CA19-9 was significantly positively correlated with degree of decrease in FBG (r = 0.33, P < 0.001), as well as CA19-9 level before AT (r = 0.73, P < 0.001), NLR (r = 0.20, P = 0.04), and MLR (r = 0.25, P = 0.01). In this study, we investigated the influencing factors associated with CA19-9 level and the factors influencing degree of CA19-9 reduction after AT in T2DM patients with abnormal CA19-9.
