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

The impact of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection on diabetic patients (DPs) has not been described. We aimed to compare clinical features of CHIKV infection in DPs and nondiabetic patients (NDPs), and to evaluate its effects on glycemic control among DPs. We recorded clinical information and, in DPs, glycemic control. Forty-six DPs and 53 NDPs aged ≥ 20 years living in Haiti, with acute CHIKV infection, were studied. Diabetes duration was 7.1 ± 6.1 years. The most common acute CHIKV clinical manifestations were arthralgia (100.0% DPs and 98.1% NDPs, P = 1.000) and fever (86.9% DPs and 90.5% NDPs, P = 0.750). In DPs as compared with NDPs, arthralgia was more intense (mean pain score of 6.0/10 ± 2.2 versus 5.1/10 ± 2.0, P = 0.04) and took longer to improve (8.2 ± 3.0 versus 3.5 ± 2.5 days, P < 0.0001). Severe arthralgia was more prevalent (58.7% versus 20.8%, P = 0.0002), as was myalgia (80.4% versus 50.9%, P = 0.003), and fever lasted longer (5.1 ± 1.8 versus 3.7 ± 1.7 days, P = 0.0002). Among DPs, median fasting capillary glucose before versus after disease onset was 132.5 and 167.5 mg/dL (P < 0.001), corresponding to a median increase of 26.8% (interquartile range: 14.4-50.1%). Antidiabetic medication was titrated up in 41.3%. In summary, among DPs, CHIKV infection has a significant negative impact on glycemic control and, compared with NDPs, results in greater morbidity. Close clinical and glycemic observation is recommended in DPs with CHIKV infection.
