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

The most common neuropathy associated with diabetes mellitus is a distal sensory polyneuropathy. The relative importance of the direct effects of prolonged glycaemia on nervous tissue compared with indirect damage resulting from changes in blood vessels is not known. Although the importance of glycaemia is confirmed by a study showing that the incidence of neuropathy is greatly reduced by strict glycaemic control, many of the details of the deleterious effects of glycaemia on the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are not understood. These may be the result of direct damage to any of the cells in the PNS or the disruption of neuronal metabolism, axonal transport mechanisms, or repair capabilities; in addition, they may result from the effects of glycation on PNS connective tissue or a combination of some or all of the above mentioned mechanisms. The relative importance of these various mechanisms by which diabetes damages the PNS is a matter of conjecture. Therapeutic approaches targeting a specific mechanism such as those utilising aldose reductase inhibitors, or advanced glycation endproduct inhibitors have met with limited success. Clearly, it is difficult to design a treatment for diabetic neuropathy while its pathogenesis is still poorly understood.
