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

backgroundThe relationship between Klotho, blood glucose levels, and cognitive function is well-established. However, limited data exist on the association between Klotho and cognitive function in diabetes individuals.

objectiveTo investigate the potential link between serum Klotho levels and cognitive function in diabetes individuals.

methodsUsing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2011 to 2014, we employed generalized linear regression to assess the correlation between serum Klotho levels and cognitive function in diabetes individuals. Furthermore, a restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was conducted to explore the relationship, with stratified analyses by sex.

resultsOur study included a total of 514 individuals. Serum Klotho levels were positively correlated with DSST cognitive test scores (β = 0.31, P < 0.05, P-non-linear = 0.041) and overall cognitive scores (β = 0.83, P < 0.01, P-non-linear = 0.8001) in diabetes individuals. Subsequent sex-stratified analysis revealed significant correlations, particularly in females, where an inverted U-shaped curve was observed between Klotho and DSST cognitive test scores, with a turning point at Ln(Klotho) of 6.766 pg/mL.

conclusionElevated serum Klotho levels in diabetes individuals were associated with higher cognitive function, with this association being particularly significant in females. This study provided new evidence regarding sex differences in the association between Klotho levels and cognitive function in diabetes individuals.
