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

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) promotes a risk of the development of atherosclerosis and potentiates atherosclerotic cardiovascular events. Among these patients, chronic hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, oxidative stress and systemic inflammation has been found as triggers for accelerating plaque formation. Additionally, conventionally used risk factors, such as age, overweight/obesity, hypertension, poor glycemic control, renal dysfunction, and metabolic disturbances frequently underestimate the patients at the risk of asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis. Further interventions may be required to prevent vascular complications. To note, asymptomatic carotid plaque in T2DM is associated with older age, increased body mass index, biomarkers of poor glycemic control (glycated hemoglobin, fasting glucose), kidney dysfunction [urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR)], and metabolic abnormalities [high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum uric acid (SUA)]. However, renal (UACR) and metabolic (SUA) biomarkers are likely to be investigated as promising biomarkers for early stage of asymptomatic coronary atherosclerosis, which as expecting could improve diagnostic value of intima-media thickness.
