Similar cardiovascular risk factor profile in screen-detected and known type 2 diabetic subjects.
Article in Scandinavian journal of primary health care, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
OBJECTIVE. To compare the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor profile in subjects with screen-detected type 2 diabetes (SDM) and subjects with known type 2 diabetes (KDM). DESIGN. Population-based, cross-sectional survey. SETTING AND SUBJECTS. In a single, semi-rural general practice 2082 subjects were between 20 and 69 years. Of those, 1970 subjects were invited, and a total of 1374 (69.7%) subjects were examined by blood tests, anthropometric measures, and self-administered questionnaires. RESULTS. Before the survey 19 persons were known to have type 2 diabetes. The screening revealed another 31 individuals with type 2 diabetes, diagnosed according to the 1999 World Health Organization criteria. Age, levels of blood pressure, BMI, and dyslipidaemia, and markers of haemostasis and inflammation were comparable in the two groups. Median age in the KDM group was 58 vs. 57 years in the SDM group, p = 0.82, 79% were male vs. 61%, p = 0.23. In both groups 74% had blood pressure ≥ 130/85 mmHg, p = 1.00. In both groups 90% had BMI ≥ 25, p = 1.00, and about half in both groups had BMI ≥ 30, p = 0.56. In the KDM group 63% had dyslipidaemia (low HDL cholesterol or elevated triglycerides) vs. 80% in the SDM group, p = 0.32. Median levels of plasminogen-activator-inhibitor (PAI-1), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), as well as fibrinogen and C-reactive protein (CRP) were without statistically significant differences in the two groups, p > 0.1. In contrast, in markers of glycaemic regulation statistically significant differences were found between groups. Median HbA1 was 8.0 vs. 6.5, p < 0.001. Median fasting whole blood glucose level was 8.8 mmol/L vs. 6.3 mmol/L, p < 0.001, and glucose at two hours during OGTT was 16.9 mmol/L vs. 11.2 mmol/L, p < 0.001. Median fasting serum insulin level was 52 pmol/L vs. 80 pmol/L, p = 0.039 and at two hours 127 pmol/L vs. 479 pmol/L, p < 0.001. CONCLUSIONS. The CVD risk-factor profile of SDM patients was similar to the expected adverse profile of patients with KDM. This indicates an already increased risk of cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients before the diabetes becomes clinically manifest, supporting the need for early diagnosis.
