Correlation of Carotid Intima-media Thickness with Glycaemic Variability in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Cross-sectional Study.
Article in Annals of neurosciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Atherosclerosis, a precursor to macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes, has shown links to blood glucose fluctuations. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) serves as a non-invasive tool for early atherosclerosis assessment. Purpose: This study explores associations between specific glycaemic variability markers and CIMT in young type 2 diabetes patients. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 52 patients aged ≤50, assessing mean blood glucose (MBG), standard deviation (SD), mean amplitude of glucose excursion (MAGE), largest amplitude of glucose excursion (LAGE) and CIMT. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics and Spearman's rank correlation tests. Results and Discussion: Participants exhibited diverse characteristics and poor glycaemic control (mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c): 8.7%). Nephropathy (52%), neuropathy (44.2%) and diabetic retinopathy (67.3%) were prevalent. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) revealed elevated glycaemic parameters. Significant correlations were found between MBG, SD, MAGE, LAGE and CIMT. Despite regional variations and elevated risk factors, findings align with prior studies, emphasising the multifactorial nature of atherosclerosis. The study highlights the importance of targeted interventions in diabetes management. Conclusion: The study reveals suboptimal glycaemic control and a high prevalence of microvascular complications. Contrary to some studies, it establishes a significant correlation between glycaemic variability and CIMT, emphasising the importance of targeted interventions.
