Evaluation of sural nerve automated nerve conduction study in the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Article in Archives of medical science : AMS, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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
introductionNew tests for improved diagnosis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) are useful. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe evaluated the utility of automated nerve conduction study (NCS) of the sural nerve with a new portable device for the diagnosis of DPN in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study included 114 T2DM patients (58 men) with mean age 64.60 ±8.61 years. Exclusion criteria were B12 depletion, alcohol abuse and other causes of peripheral neuropathy. The reference method was the Neuropathy Disability Score (NDS) with a threshold NDS ≥ 3. Sural nerve automated NCS was carried out with the portable NC-stat DPNCheck device. Sensory nerve conduction velocity and sensory nerve action potential amplitude were measured bilaterally. Automated NCS was considered abnormal when ≥ 1 of the two aforementioned neurophysiological parameters was abnormal in at least one leg.
resultsExamination with NC-stat DPNCheck exhibited 90.48% sensitivity, 86.11% specificity, 79.17% positive predictive value (PPV) and 93.94% negative predictive value (NPV). The positive likelihood ratio (LR+) was 6.51 and the negative likelihood ratio (LR-) was 0.11.
conclusionsSural nerve automated NCS with the NC-stat DPNCheck device exhibits high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of DPN in T2DM.
