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

backgroundCardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is inversely associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is related to impaired vascular function. However, its relationship with vascular function remains unknown in patients with type 2 diabetes.

aimTo assess the relationship of CRF with vascular function in type 2 diabetes.

methodsPatients with type 2 diabetes who were aged ≥ 18 years and underwent an incremental and symptom-limited exercise test were included. Vascular function was assessed by the construction of the vascular health index (VHI), which is defined as a composite score of ankle-brachial index, transcutaneous oxygen pressure, pulse wave velocity, and carotid intima-media thickness. Impaired vascular function is defined as a VHI of < 8 points. Linear and logistic regression analyses were used to assess the associations.

resultsWe included 343 patients with type 2 diabetes. CRF was positively correlated with VHI

conclusionHigher CRF was associated with better vascular function and lower odds of impaired vascular function in patients with type 2 diabetes.
