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
backgroundDespite a marked improvement in the overall prognosis of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), cardiovascular morbidity/mortality is still increased. Since cellular and microvascular aberrations have been demonstrated already in children with T1DM, albeit a good glycemic control (CO), we hypothesized that early macrovascular changes can be detected by common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT).
methodsWe included 73 children/adolescents with T1DM (34 boys, 39 girls; mean age, 14.8 ± 2 years) and 243 sex- and age-matched healthy CO. In T1DM mean HbA1c was 7.9 ± 1.1 rel.%, and duration of disease 7.5 ± 3.1 years. High-resolution ultrasonography was used to assess CCA-IMT, defined as the mean of 24 measurements of the near and far wall on both right and left CCA.
resultsCCA-IMT was not different in the total of children and adolescents with T1DM compared with CO (0.302 ± 0.057 vs. 0.301 ± 0.054 mm; p = 0.88). Analysis according to gender, however, revealed higher CCA-IMT values in girls than in boys in the diabetic cohort (0.315 ± 0.055 vs. 0.288 ± 0.058 mm; p = 0.047), whereas CCA-IMT was higher in boys than in girls in the CO group (0.321 ± 0.057 vs. 0.284 ± 0.045 mm; p < 0.001). Multiple stepwise backward regression showed that in the T1DM group only HbA1c remained significantly associated with CCA-IMT (Beta = - 0.307, p = 0.008). In CO, gender (Beta = - 0.302, p < 0.001), body mass index (Beta = 0.226, p < 0.001) and systolic blood pressure (Beta = 0.213, p < 0.001) were predictive of CCA-IMT.
conclusionOur data suggest that in children/adolescents with T1DM the quality of metabolic CO (HbA1c) is the most important predictor of CCA-IMT and outweighs the effect of gender.
