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

backgroundThe estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), calculated from glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), hypertension status and BMI, is a proxy for insulin resistance. We examined the association between eGDR and the risk of first myocardial infarction (MI) and post-MI mortality in individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

methodsUsing nationwide health registry data (2006-2020), we identified individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Follow-up started at the first time a complete eGDR could be calculated. eGDR was then handled as a time-updated exposure until first MI, with person-time assigned according to the most recent available value. Among those with MI, follow-up for post-MI mortality started at the event, and covariates were fixed at their last value before MI. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs were estimated using Cox regression with adjustment for blood lipids, albuminuria, estimated glomerular filtration rate and physical activity.

resultsWe included 46,155 individuals with type 1 diabetes and 570,230 individuals with type 2 diabetes (both 43% women). During a median follow up of 7.7 person-years, 1997 (4.3%) and 34,237 (6.0%) experienced first MI, respectively. Adjusted HRs (95% CIs) for first MI across eGDR categories ≤4, 4-6, 6-8, and ≥8 mg/kg/min) were: 3.73 (3.35-4.16), 3.09 (2.85-3.35), 2.40 (2.15-2.69) and 0.96 (0.79-1.17) for type 1 diabetes, respectively. Corresponding HRs for type 2 diabetes were 1.71 (1.62-1.82), 1.54 (1.46-1.62), 1.43 (1.35-1.51) and 1 (reference). Similar associations were observed for post-MI mortality, however non-significant across all eGDR categories.

conclusionsLower eGDR, reflecting greater insulin resistance, was associated with a higher risk of first MI, with a stronger association observed in type 1 diabetes. These findings support insulin resistance as a potential modifiable cardiovascular risk factor in people with diabetes.
