Analysis of postprandial time trends and influencing factors of blood glucose and insulin in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD): a retrospective study based on propensity score matching (PSM).

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
backgroundMetabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are increasingly prevalent metabolic disorders worldwide, with a complex bidirectional relationship between them. Currently, there is a lack of research on the trajectories of blood glucose and insulin concentration over time after eating in patients with MASLD and T2DM.
methodsThis clinical cohort included diagnosed T2DM patients in a large hospital over the past five years, was divided into an observation group (with MASLD) and a control group (without MASLD). The postprandial time trends of blood glucose and insulin concentration were analysed within two hours after eating. A strategy of backward iterative feature elimination combined with propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to screen for potential associated factors that might influence these trends.
resultsIn total, there were 521 in the observation group and 373 in the control group. In terms of blood glucose, the postprandial time-concentration trajectories for both groups shown a significant time main effect (F = 1145.567, P < 0.001), a significant group main effect (F = 15.340, P < 0.001), and a significant time*group interaction effect (F = 2.873, P = 0.035); After matching all the factors, the time*group interaction effect of blood glucose was not significant, but the differences from group main effect still existed. In terms of insulin, the postprandial time-concentration trajectories for both groups shown a significant time main effect (F = 309.429, P < 0.001), a significant group main effect (F = 6.319, P < 0.012), and a significant time*group interaction effect (F = 20.057, P < 0.001), but the trajectories crossed; After matching 4 factors such as Smoking, Essential Hypertension (EH), Body Mass Index (BMI), Triglyceride (TG) and Ca
conclusionThe postprandial trends of blood glucose and insulin concentration over time shown significant differences between T2DM patients with and without MASLD. IL-6 might be associated with the insulin resistance, while EH and Ca
