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

backgroundThe association of H.pylori (HP) and insulin resistance degree (IR) has not been evaluated in the diabetic patients so far. In this study, we evaluated the association between HP seropositivity and the homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in diabetic patients.

methodsIn this study, 211 diabetic patients admitted to the endocrinology clinic of Shahid Beheshti Hospital of Qom for routine diabetic check-ups were evaluated. The patients were divided into HP(+) and HP(-) groups based on the seropositivity of helicobacter pylori IgG antibody. The serum H. pylori IgG antibody, blood sugar, serum insulin, HbA1c, LDL, HDL, cholesterol, triglyceride, HOMA-IR and BMI were measured.

resultsThe mean age of 72 HP(-) patient was 51.5±8.3 and 139 HP+ subjects was 53.5±9 years (P=0.128). The mean HDL in HP(-) cases was 69.2±29.2 mg/dl and for HP+ cases was 60.7±26.7 mg/dl (P=0.037). The mean serum insulin in HP(-) was 60.97±5.64 and HP(+) subjects was 10.12±7.72IU/ml (P=0.002). The Homa-IR degree for HP(-) cases was 3.2±3.3 and for HP(+) cases was 4.5±3.8 (P=0.013). There were no significant differences between these groups according to the short-term or the long-term indices of glycemic control as well as most of the diabetic risk factors or complications. The treatment type was also not significantly different between these groups.

conclusionIt seems that the HP(+) diabetic patients require higher levels of serum insulin to reach the same degree of glycemic control compared to the HP(-) ones.
