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

aimTo assess the relationship between corrected QT (QTc) interval and vitamin 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels (25-OHD) deficiency in type 2 diabetic patients.

methodsThe study included 253 patients with type 2 diabetes and 170 age-matched controls treated between October and December 2013. QTc duration and QTc dispersion were measured on ECG recordings and 25-OHD, calcium, phosphorus, and blood glucose levels were determined.

resultsPatients with diabetes had significantly longer QTc duration and QTc dispersion than controls (P<0.001 and P<0.001 respectively). Diabetic patients with prolonged QTc duration were older and had longer diabetes duration and higher HbA1c levels than patients with normal QTc interval. They significantly more frequently had 25-OHD deficiency (P<0.001), but had similar calcium and phosphorus levels. Diabetic patients with prolonged QTc dispersion were of similar age and had similar diabetes duration and HbA1c levels as patients with normal QTc dispersion. They significantly more frequently had 25-OHD deficiency (P=0.010), but had similar calcium and phosphorus levels.

conclusionThis study showed prolonged QTc duration and QTc dispersion in patients with type 2 diabetes, especially those with 25-OHD deficiency.
