Arterial Stiffness Is Related to Diabetes-Associated Microvascular Complications: The SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study.
Article in Diabetes care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo assess the relationship between arterial stiffness, an early marker of macrovascular cardiovascular disease, and microvascular complications in adolescents and young adults with youth-onset diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsThis study included 1,226 individuals (median age at initial visit 18 years; 58% female; 53% non-Hispanic White, 22% non-Hispanic Black, and 20% Hispanic) with youth-onset type 1 or type 2 diabetes from the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study. Arterial stiffness measures included pulse wave velocity for carotid femoral, carotid radial, femoral foot, and augmentation index (AIx). Microvascular complications included microalbuminuria, peripheral neuropathy, and retinopathy. Participants were followed up once at ∼5 years.
resultsCross-sectionally, in type 1 diabetes, AIx was associated with higher odds of having any one microvascular complication (odds ratio [OR] 1.35; 95% CI 1.04-1.76), microalbuminuria (OR 2.76; 95% CI 1.78-4.39), neuropathy (OR 1.63; 95% CI 1.07-2.50), and retinopathy (OR 1.37; 95% CI 1.06-1.79). In type 2 diabetes, AIx was associated with higher odds of microalbuminuria (OR 2.05; 95% CI 1.04-4.33; all P < 0.05). In longitudinal analysis, in type 1 diabetes, a change in AIx was associated with the development of any one microvascular complication (OR 1.45; 95% CI 1.15-1.82), microalbuminuria (OR 5.42; 95% CI 1.98-14.80), neuropathy (OR 2.03; 95% CI 1.22-3.40), and retinopathy (OR 1.48; 95% CI 1.15-1.90). In type 2 diabetes, a change in AIx was associated with the development of microalbuminuria (OR 21.98; 95% CI 1.30-372.88; all P < 0.05).
conclusionsArterial stiffness is related to and predicts microvascular complications in youth-onset type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
