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

In Diabetes Mellitus (DM), glucose and the aldehydes glyoxal and methylglyoxal modify free amino groups of lysine and arginine of proteins forming advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Elevated levels of these AGEs are implicated in diabetic complications including nephropathy. Our objective was to measure carboxymethyl cysteine (CMC) and carboxyethyl cysteine (CEC), AGEs formed by modification of free cysteine sulfhydryl groups of proteins by these aldehydes, in plasma proteins of patients with diabetes, and investigate their association with the albumin creatinine ratio (ACR, urine albumin (mg)/creatinine (mmol)), an indicator of nephropathy. Blood was collected from forty-two patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes (18-36 years) and eighteen individuals without diabetes (17-35 years). A liquid chromatography-mass spectrophotometric method was developed to measure plasma protein CMC and CEC levels. Values for ACR and hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) were obtained. Mean plasma CMC (microg/l) and CEC (microg/l) were significantly higher in DM (55.73 +/- 29.43, 521.47 +/- 239.13, respectively) compared to controls (24.25 +/- 10.26, 262.85 +/- 132.02, respectively). In patients with diabetes CMC and CEC were positively correlated with ACR, as was HbA1C. Further, CMC or CEC in combination with HbA1C were better predictors of nephropathy than any one of these variables alone. These results suggest that glucose, glyoxal, and methylglyoxal may all be involved in the etiology of diabetic nephropathy.
