Microalbuminuria is independently associated with arterial stiffness and vascular inflammation but not with carotid intima-media thickness in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes or essential hypertension.

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
The association between microalbuminuria (MAU) and the indices of macrovascular complication in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (D) or essential hypertension (H) was evaluated. Total 446 patients were classified into four groups according to the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio: MAU-D (n = 104), normoalbuminuria (NAU)-D (n = 114), MAU-H (n = 116), and NAU-H (n = 112). The indices of macrovascular complication including arterial stiffness evaluated by pulse-wave-velocity (PWV), carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), and vascular inflammation marked by high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were assessed. PWV, IMT, and hsCRP were higher in patients with MAU than in those with NAU in both diabetes and hypertension groups. In both MAU-D and MAU-H groups, PWV and hsCRP levels were positively correlated with MAU level (MAU-D: r = 0.47, 0.41, MAU-H: r = 0.36, 0.62, respectively, P < 0.05). Additionally, PWV and hsCRP were independent factors predicting MAU (diabetes group: OR 1.85, 1.54, hypertension group: OR 1.38, 1.51, respectively, P < 0.001), but not IMT. MAU is independently associated with arterial stiffness and vascular inflammation but not with IMT in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes or essential hypertension, which emphasizes the importance of proactive clinical investigations for atherosclerotic complications in patients with MAU, even in newly diagnosed diabetes or hypertension.
