Semiquantitative analysis of apolipoprotein A-I modified by advanced glycation end products in diabetes mellitus.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundApolipoprotein A-I (Apo A-I), the major component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), is modified by reactive α-oxoaldehydes, such as methylglyoxal (MG) and glycolaldehyde (GA), and these modifications affect the function of Apo A-I. GA- and MG-modified Apo A-I serum levels were semiquantitatively evaluated in diabetic patients to elucidate the association of each protein with diabetes and to determine its appropriateness as a serum marker of diabetes.
methodsWe enrolled 44 subjects in this study (diabetic subjects, n = 24; nondiabetic subjects, n = 20). GA- and MG-modified Apo A-I levels in serum were determined by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) by using anti-GA or anti-MG antibody and anti-Apo A-I antibody.
resultsThe GA-modified Apo A-I levels did not significantly differ between the diabetic and nondiabetic subjects (1.00 ± 0.38 vs. 0.96 ± 0.22). However, the MG-modified Apo A-I levels in the diabetic subjects were significantly higher than those in the nondiabetic subjects (1.33 ± 0.52 vs. 0.90 ± 0.20). In addition, MG-modified Apo A-I levels correlated with the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, HDL-cholesterol levels, and the homeostasis model assessments of insulin resistance, which are indicators of insulin resistance.
conclusionThe MG-modified Apo A-I level may be an indicator of diabetic dyslipidemia and insulin resistance.
