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

Background: For patients with poor glycemic control of adult type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), in addition to managing blood glucose levels, it is worth exploring further as an early warning indicator of blood glucose control. Methods: 56 adults with T1DM, aged between 18 and 70 years, were included in the study. Data on body composition and laboratory indicators, including phase angle values and HbA1c levels, were collected. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine the correlation and the strength of association between the phase angle, and HbA1c levels. Results: Pearson's correlation and linear regression models indicated a negative correlation between phase angle and HbA1c levels, even after controlling for age and weight in both males and females. Conclusion: The results indicate a significant negative relationship between Phase angle and HbA1c levels. Beyond being a simple body composition parameter, Phase angle can be used as a clinical indicator of improved blood glucose control.
