Coronary artery calcification in type 1 diabetes after 10-year ketogenic diet.
Article in Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared with the general population. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is the primary modifiable risk factor for CVD in T1D. However, fewer than 1% of patients achieve euglycemia (<5.7% HbA1c). Ketogenic diets (KDs; ≤50 g carbohydrate/day) could improve glycemia and reduce CVD risk in T1D by reducing HbA1c and insulin load. One gold-standard cardiovascular assessment-coronary artery calcification-has not yet been reported among individuals with T1D undergoing a KD. In T1D, 30-70% of males between the ages of 30-39 yr old have coronary artery calcification (CAC) >1, which rapidly progresses to 70-90% between the ages of 40-49 yr old, with male sex and elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) as predictors of CAC progression. Therefore, this case report aims to provide CAC scores from an individual who followed a KD for over 10 years for the first time. We collected this medical history information from the 33-yr-old male case study participant with T1D following the KD for over 10 years without the use of lipid-lowering medication. The participant achieved euglycemia with an HbA1c of 5.5%. High-resolution computed tomography (CT) imaging of the chest was performed, focusing on the coronary arteries. Scans were obtained using a 64-slice CT scanner equipped with coronary calcium quantification software. Analysis revealed a total Agatston calcium score of 0 across all coronary artery territories. These findings indicate an absence of detectable coronary artery calcification, suggesting the absence of atherosclerotic plaque formation despite concern about the long-term cardiovascular consequences of a KD.
