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

Aims. The purpose of the study was to investigate the differences of adenosine, adenine, inosine, xanthine, hypoxanthine, and uric acid concentrations in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetic retinopathy and assess the relationship between purine metabolites and disease. Materials and Methods. The study group consisted of 114 subjects which were divided into three groups: control (n = 40), type 2 diabetes without retinopathy (n = 35), and type 2 diabetes with retinopathy (n = 39). Levels of metabolites were measured in plasma of all participants. Results. There is a significant increase of levels of adenosine (0.94 ± 0.17 mg/L versus 0.17 ± 0.01 mg/L, P < 0.001), inosine (0.297 ± 0.078 mg/L versus 0.086 ± 0.010 mg/L, P < 0.001), xanthine (1.01 ± 0.21 mg/L versus 0.54 ± 0.05 mg/L, P = 0.009), and uric acid (70.55 ± 3.97 mg/L versus 53.81 ± 2.36 mg/L, P < 0.001) with diabetic retinopathy compared to diabetes mellitus. The levels of adenine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine oxidase did not change. Uric acid, xanthine, inosine, and adenosine correlated positively with systolic blood pressure and urea nitrogen. Conclusions. The levels of adenosine, inosine, uric acid, and xanthine may be useful for monitoring the progression of diabetic retinopathy and evaluating the treatment.
