Role of ultrasonography in the evaluation of correlation between strain and elasticity of common carotid artery in patients with diabetic nephropathy.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the correlation between strain and elasticity of the common carotid artery (CCA) by ultrasonography and evaluate its clinical significance in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN).
methodsA total of 68 DN patients and 54 healthy subjects were randomly recruited from the Ultrasound Department from April 2014 to March 2015. The maximum of circumferential strain (CSmax), maximum of circumferential strain rate (CSRmax), compliance coefficient (CC) and stiffness index (β) of the CCA were determined by ultrasonography in all the patients, and correlation analysis was performed.
resultsThe CC, CSmax and CSRmax in DN group were significantly lower than in healthy controls (P<0.05), but β was markedly higher than in control group (P<0.05). There was a significantly positive correlation of CSmax and CSRmax with CC and a negative correlation with β in both control group and DN group.
conclusionThere is significant correlation between strain and elastic of the CCA. CSmax and CSRmax may be used to reflect the mechanical characteristics of CCA.
