Greater insulin resistance indicates decreased diurnal variation in the QT interval in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Article in Heart and vessels, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Circadian variations in the QT interval (QT) and QT dispersion are decreased in patients with type 2 diabetes because of cardioneuropathy. Insulin resistance has been recently identified as an independent determinant of QT prolongation in normoglycemic women. However, the relationship between QT prolongation and the degree of insulin resistance as well as circadian variation remains unclear in diabetic patients. This study was designed to assess the relationship between insulin resistance and the circadian variation in QT measurements in patients with type 2 diabetes. In 14 patients with diabetes, QT, corrected QT (QTc), QT dispersion, QTc dispersion, and RR interval (RR) were analyzed using 12-lead Holter monitoring and commercial software. The degree of diurnal variation in each measurement was defined as the amplitude between the maximum and mean values on curves fitted using the mean cosinor method (A_QT, A_QTc, A_QT dispersion, A_QTc dispersion, and A_RR). The cosine curve was fitted to all measured values in each QT measurement and RR for 24 h. Insulin resistance (glucose infusion rate (GIR)) was measured using the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic glucose clamp method. The maximum QT, QTc, QT dispersion, and QTc dispersion were >450 ms. GIR was significantly correlated with A_QT only (r = 0.59, P < 0.05). GIR was not correlated with other variables, and was dependent only on the circadian variation in QT.
