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

In vitro and in vivo studies have shown conflicting results regarding heat shock protein (HSP) and leptin correlation. More importantly both HSP70 and leptin are correlated with C reactive proteins. The purpose of the present study was to study the correlation between serum HSP70 and leptin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes stratified according to gender. We performed a cross sectional study on the established groups of patients with type 2 diabetes defined as 1: patients with long standing diabetes for more than 3 years; and 2: patients with newly diagnosed diabetes within recent 6 months who were not on any glucose lowering treatment other than by dietary means alone and 3: healthy controls. Patients with long standing diabetes had higher HSP70, HbA1c and triglyceride than controls. Serum leptin levels were significantly lower in patients with newly diagnosed diabetes. Women with type 2 diabetes had higher leptin levels compared to men, both before and after treatment. We showed a positive correlation between leptin and HSP70 levels in women with type 2 diabetes. The correlation was strongest in women with newly diagnosed diabetes (r = 0.59) and was attenuated in women who were on treatment (r = 0.3). The significance of this correlation was only observed in women with type 2 diabetes. There was no correlation between leptin and HSP70 in men. The positive correlation between leptin and HSP is observed in chronic inflammation such as type 2 diabetes. It could be hypothesized that the observed correlation between serum HSP70 and leptin implies a higher state of chronic inflammation.
