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

Diabetes is a chronic disease with a continuously increasing prevalence worldwide. Chronic hyperglycaemia results from elevated blood glucose levels due to disturbed insulin secretion and/or action. Diabetes adversely affects the structure and function of micro- and macrovasculature, leading to the failure of various organs and tissues. Diabetes complications affect the kidneys, retina, peripheral nerves, heart, brain, muscle, and skin. Approximately 30% of diabetic patients have cutaneous manifestations, which may be the first sign of metabolic derangement. Skin manifestations strongly associated with diabetes are foot ulcers, diabetic gangrene, diabetic dermopathy, yellow palms and soles, acanthosis nigricans, bullosis diabeticorum, diabetic thick skin, scleredema diabeticorum, and necrobiosis lipoidica. Non-specific symptoms associated with diabetes include acrochordons, rubeosis faciei diabeticorum, eruptive xanthomas, acquired reactive perforating collagenosis, keratosis pilaris, pruritus, vitiligo, granuloma annulare, lichen planus, as well as bacterial and fungal infections. The prompt recognition of skin lesions can initiate early diagnostic testing and timely treatment, minimising long-term complications of diabetes. The use of specialised bioactive dressings in the treatment of diabetic wounds, as well as immunomodulatory and anti-fibrotic therapies in diabetic dermatoses, is a current treatment trend. This review summarises the recent knowledge on the pathogenesis and clinical conditions of cutaneous manifestations related to diabetes mellitus.
