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

backgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a recognized trigger factor for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Recent studies show that higher serum calcium level is associated with greater risk of both T2DM and heart failure. We speculate that increased serum calcium is related to HFpEF prevalence in patients with T2DM.

methodsIn this cross-sectional echocardiographic study, 807 normocalcemia and normophosphatemia patients with T2DM participated, of whom 106 had HFpEF. Multinomial logistic regression was carried out to determine the variables associated with HFpEF. The associations between serum calcium and metabolic parameters, as well as the rate of HFpEF were examined using bivariate linear correlation and binary logistic regression, respectively. The predictive performance of serum calcium for HFpEF was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).

resultsPatients with HFpEF have significantly higher serum calcium than those without HFpEF. Serum calcium was positively associated with total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum uric acid, HOMA-IR and fasting plasma glucose. Compared with patients in the lowest serum calcium quartile, the odds ratio (OR) for HFpEF in patients in the highest quartile was 2.331 (95 % CI 1.088-4.994, p = 0.029). When calcium was analyzed as a continuous variable, per 1 mg/dL increase, the OR (95 % CI) for HFpEF was [2.712 (1.471-5.002), p = 0.001]. Serum calcium can predict HFpEF [AUC = 0.673, 95 % CI (0.620-0.726), p < 0.001].

conclusionsAn increase in serum calcium level is associated with an increased risk of HFpEF in patients with T2DM.
